Post exposure prophylaxis used for person that sre accidentaly exposed needle prick injury or contack with blood. But for that hiv test is necessary and moreover its not for sexual exposure. Zidovudin is used in postexposure prophylaxis. But its not the over the counter drug you take it by yourself. You should consult doctor. Go for hiv test.
