Sexual assault is a traumatic experience that can expose survivors to the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Preventing these infections is essential as they can lead to long-term complications. The prevalence of STIs after sexual assault varies, with higher rates for some infections like trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. While routine testing for STIs may not be performed in many cases, prophylactic treatment is often recommended. This includes antibiotics for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, as well as preventive measures for hepatitis B, HPV, and HIV. Follow-up care is crucial but often faces challenges, with factors influencing compliance. A multidisciplinary healthcare team collaborates to provide comprehensive care to survivors, addressing physical, psychological, and legal aspects. This activity covers the interprofessional approach to evaluation, treatment, and follow-up and aims to minimize the risk of STIs and support survivors on their path to recovery.
