I was talking with somebody yesterday and he claimed there's a drug you can take before or after sex to prevent hiv, is there anything like that?

It's called PreP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). It's not a "single-use" pill, as you'd need to continue to use it as long as you engage in high-risk behaviours

No. Only designated HIV treatment centers provide it to individuals at high-risk of getting HIV, such as sexual workers or sexual partners of those infected with the HIV virus
