PERSONAL CARE

A person who experiences sexual assault should take steps to preserve evidence as soon as possible after the incident, even if they are unsure about reporting it. To better preserve evidence:

  • Do not shower or douche.
  • Try not to urinate. Urinating may reduce the ability to detect date rape drugs.
  • If there was oral contact, do not smoke, eat, or brush your teeth.
  • Do not change clothes. If you have already changed your clothes, place them in a paper bag since plastic may destroy evidence. If you haven’t changed, keep the original clothes on and bring an extra set to wear home.
  • A Physical Evidence Recovery Kit (PERK) will help preserve forensic evidence of an assault. Inform your medical care provider that you wish to have a PERK performed as soon as possible.
