🛡️ Teen Boundaries, Consent, and the Law: What Teens Must Know About Sexual Misconduct *coming soon
Course overview
Lesson Overview

1.67 – Getting Medical Help Right Away: After any sexual assault, getting medical care quickly is one of the most important steps to protect your health and gather evidence. Doctors and nurses trained in sexual assault response can give you emergency care without judgment. They can check for injuries, offer medicine to prevent infections, and discuss pregnancy prevention. You do not have to decide about reporting right away; getting examined just keeps your options open. Medical staff can collect DNA evidence safely within a limited time window. If you feel afraid, you can bring someone you trust with you to the hospital. Many states have programs that cover medical costs for assault survivors. The exam can be done privately, and you can stop it at any point. It is your choice whether police are contacted, depending on local laws. Even if you showered or changed clothes, doctors may still gather helpful evidence. Some hospitals have social workers or advocates on call 24/7 to guide survivors through each step. Keeping all paperwork from your visit can help if you pursue legal action later. Follow-up care is vital to prevent health complications and emotional trauma. Early care means early support, and that can make recovery easier. You are taking a brave step just by getting checked, and that courage matters.
