Hi,
The only way for hiv prophylaxis is these drugs or you another way which might be possible is that you request that girl that she should get tested herself for hiv although this is not a sure method because she might be in her latent period,but if she is a prostitute then she might be infected from before only.
The treatment cost is free at government hospitals of india or at very nominal cost and i am not sure over the cost of private hospitals.
Banglore is a big city and everything will be there what ever can happen in india can happen in banglore..
