Rape
Posted by an anonymous user on 12/1/2008 9:07:00 PM
Ok this is not a secret but after reading so many sad stories about rape I would like to share some info.
After (God forbid) you are raped do not shower, change clothes, wash your hands or douche! ! Then go strait to the nearest emergency room for an exam or call 911.While you are there they will give you different clothes to wear so they can examine the clothes for hair and dna samples.They can talk to you about the morning after pill and getting tested for STIs and HIV and can get you a councilor.It is so important you go as soon as possible so they can get as much evidence as they can.If you have been raped in the past there are many options for you to talk to someone without having to give out your personal info.
Here is a website you can go to to IM with a live councelor.
http://www.rainn.org/get-help/national-sexual-assault-online-hotline
Or a toll free number you can call 24/7
1-800-656-HOPE
"How does the National Sexual Assault Hotline work?
The concept behind the hotline is simple.When a caller dials 1.800.656.HOPE, a computer notes the area code and first three digits of the caller's phone number.The call is then instantaneously connected to the nearest RAINN member center.If all counselors at that center are busy, the call is sent to the next closest center.The caller's phone number is not retained, so the call is anonymous and confidential unless the caller chooses to share personally-identifying information." This is from the website.
If I have in any way directly or indirectly helped anyone reading this get be better informed I will be so glad I could have helped.You survivors are all in my prayers.
