Physicians, nurses and counselors provide care, counseling, and provide rape exams free of charge. The rape exam involves treating your injuries, preventing pregnancy, and collecting evidence of the assault. You do not have to use the evidence unless you choose to pursue legal action. But if you ever decide to make a police report, the rape exam is a central component.
