As part of a local college awareness program, a nurse is interviewing several of the participants about their views on rape.

"Health care providers can prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection transmission after a rape." "Most victims of rape never report the episode to the local authorities or tell anyone about being raped." "What a person wears has no effect on whether that person will be assaulted by someone else." "Men and women who are raped may take several years to recover emotionally and physically."

"Health care providers can prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection transmission after a rape." Health care providers can provide emergency contraceptive medication to limit the possibility of a pregnancy resulting from the rape; however, the medication is not 100% effective. Sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission cannot be prevented after the rape has occurred. A barrier device, such as a condom, must be used during intercourse to prevent STI transmission. The majority of people who are raped never tell anyone about it, and almost two-thirds of victims never report it to the authorities. No victim invites rape or sexual assault, and what a person wears is irrelevant. It can take several years for victims to recover from rape. Medications can help initially, but counseling is necessary.
