Sexual Assault Support Services

We are proud to be a partner with the Office of Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP). Student Health offers comprehensive and compassionate services for survivors of sexual assault by experienced staff. Our Campus Nurse is a SANE-trained nurse. Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) are registered nurses who have completed specialized education and clinical preparation in the medical forensic care of a patient who has experienced sexual assault or abuse.

What to expect if you seek our services:

• Confidentiality is of utmost importance. This is a safe environment. Your privacy and well-being are our number one priority.
• There is NO requirement to report to UPD or have forensic evidence collected. However, declining this greatly handicaps future legal recourse
• If you choose to have forensic evidence collected:
  • You will undergo a Physical exam, forensic evidence collection, and lab evaluation including STI screening, appropriate prescription medications, and counseling
  • All medical services are provided at no charge to the survivor. There may be a cost to certain medications prescribed for prophylaxis
• If you choose NOT to have forensic evidence collected:
  • You will undergo a screening and receive treatment. Normal charges for labs and meds apply. If cost is a concern, we will work with you so that it is not a barrier.
• We collaborate with UPD, UCC, and Title IX but will only do so per survivors wishes

When should the exam and treatment occur?

• Exam and treatment should occur ASAP after the assault – within 72-96 hours
  • If wanting to collect forensic evidence, this improves the quality of evidence and effectiveness of medications (Plan B, PEP, etc.)

How should I prepare for my visit?

• Evidence quality is improved if survivor does not shower, change clothes or brush teeth before exam. Bring assault clothing for evidence submission if one has already changed.

What if Student Health is closed?

• Student Health operates Monday – Friday 8a – 5p and closes on Thursdays at 4p. Baptist Memorial Hospital – North MS emergency department is the best option after hours.
• It is highly recommended that you contact VIP at their support helpline: 662-816-5377
