GNESA is writing to express our continued concern for these over-the-counter rape test kits. Despite the national COVID pandemic, we object to any promotion, sale, free distribution, or use of the DIY sexual assault evidence kit for the following reasons:.
Exams focus on the health and well-being of the survivor. No aspect of the DIY kit addresses pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV , sexually transmitted disease STD prevention, or the short- or long-term physical and mental health consequences that result from sexual violence victimization.
We believe in a victim centered approach in supporting survivors. This support includes but not limited to appropriate medical, victim advocacy and law enforcement services provided by trained professionals. Survivors deserve no less. Despite the challenges that COVID presents, a patient who has experienced sexual assaultβlike any person experiencing a health emergencyβwill have access to the examination and treatment they need.
