After an assault, you may want to seek medical care.
This may include STI testing, pregnancy testing, or a Medical Forensic Exam.
Medical Forensic Exam
A Medical Forensic Exam is a process in which a trained nurse gathers physical evidence from a victim/survivor following an assault. This can include collecting DNA, documenting injuries, recording the victim/survivor account of the assault, and providing any needed testing or medications.
Evidence can be collected up to 120 hours following an assault. Victims/survivors that choose to receive a medical forensic exam are not required to report to police. Evidence can be recorded and stored anonymously. The victim/survivor can choose which parts of the exam they would like performed and can stop the exam at any time.
Medical Forensics Program
You can obtain a Medical Forensic Exam from the licensed medical facilities throughout Southeastern Wisconsin that are listed on the website below.
Preserving Medical Evidence
- All medical forensic exams are performed by a trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner.
- If possible, bring the clothes (including underwear) that were worn during the assault as well as clean clothes to change into.
- Try not to bathe, brush teeth, or use mouthwash before the exam.
- If possible, wait to urinate until the nurse can collect a sample (especially if it is the first urination after the assault) or bring a sample to the exam.
- Bring any feminine products (tampon or maxi pad) worn during the assault.
- The examination may include DNA collection, photos of any bodily injury, STI assessment/prevention, and pregnancy testing.
