Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Can you tell me what is the risk of exposure? Was the person a sex worker? Or are you aware of the exposure level of your partner?
Kindly reply.

Yes, this happened with a sex worker in medellin, colombia. I want to be as cautious as possible. Is there something I can do now to reduce my risk of contracting the virus?

Ideally you should start PEP within 72 hours for it to be effective.
You can contact any PCP there, and request for the prophylaxis treatment.
