Brief Answer:
You can't get it without a script!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You need a script for this as it is not available over the counter. Ideally, his doctor should have treated you right away. You need to take 2g in a single dose and that would be it. I suggest you call your doctor for a script so as to avoid getting him contaminated in future. While pending treatment, use condoms during every sexual encounter.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Kind regards!
