Medications for possible sexually transmitted infection exposure and pregnancy prevention are offered to survivors at no cost. A trained advocate will be provided to support survivors during the visit. Reporting to Law Enforcement can be facilitated, but is NOT REQUIRED to access care. For the best collection of evidence, do not shower, bathe, or brush your teeth before going to the hospital.
