Rape test without parents knowing?!


Question: Rape test without parents knowing?
Is it possible to get one without them informing your parents? If I can do I just walk in and... ask for one? What will they do exactly... what will they ask me? Please I really need to do this. I want it all over with.

Answers:

A rape kit consists of the doctor checking out your body to make sure that it's alright. They check for STD's and give you emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy. It's something you need to do, even if it's scary. Doctors are not supposed to disclose your health issues to your parents without your consent, but if you want to be sure that this doesn't happen, I recommend going to a women's center (or a rape crisis center) and getting yourself and advocate. These are counselors that only look out for YOUR best interest. Specific procedures vary based on where you live. A website that you can check out for help and knowledge is www.rainn.org. Just know this isn't your fault and it's not something you should beat yourself up over. The blame only lies on one person, the guy who did it. Best wishes.



I am sorry this happened sweetie.

But, a rape kit is something used as evidence, and it will be filed through the police station (at least where I am from) But I believe you get to have consent as to whether you want to press charges, and if this DID happen, I am not sure why you wouldn't want to press charges. dirty scum a**hole doesn't deserve to walk the streets.

Also, if this happened, you need support from your parents and family...



I'm sorry you are going through this! Your best bet is to call RAINN, the Rape Crisis Hotline. Everything is anonymous, and they will be able to advise and help you and answer all of your questions. Their number is 1-800-656-HOPE. You have nothing to lose by calling them--you can always just hang up if you want.



you could go to a planned parenthood if you have any where you live they will not inform your parents and if you explain your situation im sure they will not charge you either.
