I volunteer as a rape crisis hotline counselor in Colorado. Your local
rape crisis line can be a good source for STD information as well as
referrals to good health care for follow-up. My hotline has lists of
doctors who are particularly aware and sensitive to the needs of sexual
assault survivors.
I wish you all the best, Christine.
