How soon should I get help if I have been assaulted or a victim of technology facilitated sexualized violence?
- As soon as possible from health care provider and counsellor.
- Early care can help prevent HIV and other STIs, unwanted pregnancy, and long term-term psychological trauma.
- Testing within 24 hours can show if a date rape drug was used in the assault.
- Within 7 days you can do a sexual assault examination kit to collect DNA and document injuries for evidence.
