• To talk to someone right away, contact RAINN
  (the Rape and Incest National Network) at 1-800-656-HOPE or www.rainn.org.
  They can give you moral support along with information about preserving
  evidence of the attack, getting medical care, and reporting the
  attack to authorities. (RAINN’s toll-free number only works
  in the United States, but you can find contacts in other countries
  on their website here).

• If you’re worried about getting pregnant,
  you can use emergency
  contraception for up
  to five days after you were sexually assaulted. Emergency
  contraception can significantly reduce
  your risk of pregnancy after sex. If you live in a country where you need a prescription
  for emergency contraception,
  contact your health care provider right away or use our database to find someone in the US who offers emergency
  contraceptive pills (also called "morning
  after pills" or "day after pills"). You can
  also seek treatment in a hospital emergency room. In many countries and some US states,
  you can get emergency contraceptive pills from a pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription.

• If you’re worried about getting a sexually transmitted
  infection (STI), you can ask hospital emergency room staff
  or your health care provider about “post-exposure prophylaxis,”
  treatment that can prevent you from getting infected with HIV
  and other sexually transmitted diseases – even if you were
  exposed to them during a sexual assault.
