Prophylaxis can refer to several things as it relates to HIV infection. The definition of prophylaxis is "a measure designed to preserve health."
Condoms are considered a prophylaxis for HIV infection. They help prevent the spread of the virus by restricting the transfer of infected body fluid during sex.
PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) is used when a patient is suspected of having been exposed to HIV. PEP consists of prescribing hefty doses of HIV medications within 72 hours of exposure to prevent HIV infection.

Prophylaxis is any medical procedure which aim is to prevent the contraction of a medical disease or ailment, rather than to cure it after it has been contracted. Things which can be prevented include measles, mumps and polio through vaccination. Condoms can be used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. In some cases a healthy diet and regular exercise can be considered a prophylaxis; as doing so can help reduce the likelihood of diseases such as coronary heart disease.

The word prophylaxis means treatment given or action taken to prevent disease.
The antonym would be a word that means treatment given or action taken to cause disease - in other words, deliberately infecting the victim with a disease.
Vaccination is a way of deliberately infecting someone with a disease so that their immune system then gears up to prevent later infection by a stronger form of the same disease, or of a related disease. So I guess in a sense, vaccination is an antonym for prophylaxis.
Another antonym would be terrorism (deliberately sending anthrax through the mail) or biological warfare.
