SANE Nurses can assess injuries related to physical trauma, evaluate for sexually-transmitted infections and possible pregnancy, provide medical care (including medications to prevent infections and pregnancy), and can, within the first 120 hours after a sexual assault (), administer a 鈥渇orensic exam.鈥�

During the forensic exam, the SANE Nurse documents and collects evidence of sexual contact and/or physical trauma (including injuries to the body and genitals), trace evidence, biological fluids and identifiable DNA. When there is reason to believe that an assault may have been facilitated by the use of drugs or alcohol, the forensic exam may also include the collection of urine and blood samples for toxicology testing.

You are not required to report an incident to law enforcement or 91自拍论坛 in order to receive medical attention or a forensic exam. Resilience will store the forensic exam evidence for 12鈥�24 months. Students can contact the SANE Nurse and inform them that they would like to file a report at any time within 12 months after the exam is completed.

You may have a support person of your choosing present while at Resilience. In addition, Resilience ensures that an advocate from their agency is available to all patients reporting sexual assault. You may accept or decline the confidential services of the Resilience advocate.

Whateve you choose, you are encouraged to seek follow-up care to address any ongoing medical concerns, including those related to sexually-transmitted infections and pregnancy.
