If you are a victim of a sexual crime…
- Do not shower, wash, douche, or change your clothes because valuable evidence could be destroyed.
- Report the crime to a counseling center, police department, campus officials or professors - just tell someone that you have been violated.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible.
- Follow medical advice given, including advice about return medical visits, counseling and medication.
- Females should ask medical workers for emergency contraception.
- Ask medical workers to test for STIs. HIV tests can be conducted six weeks after the assault.
- Don't urinate before seeking help, if possible. If you suspect that you may have been drugged, the first urine that leaves your body is the most likely to contain evidence of drugs.
