Abstract：
:In a previous internal audit of women attending the department of genitourinary medicine following rape, we noted that data from diagnostic coding seemed to underestimate the problem and that anecdotally, a number of women had been seen with concerns relating to historical assault. We therefore decided to record attendance following rape prospectively. Between 1 June 1996 and 31 May 1997 staff at the Department of Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh completed a data collection form for every female patient aged >15 years who attended the clinic and spontaneously disclosed a history of rape, either recent or historical. Seventy-five women attending GUM disclosed a history of rape. Sixty-six per cent were aged <25 years. Thirty women presented more than 12 months after the incidence, of whom 50% presented to the health adviser requesting HIV antibody testing. The incidence of sexually transmitted infections was low and in no case could be specifically attributed to the rape. None of the 38 HIV antibody tests performed were positive. A number of women present to GUM a long time after an incident of rape, most commonly due to concerns about HIV. They may have endured a great deal of mental anguish before summoning up the courage to seek help. This can have a substantial effect on workload, especially for health advisers.
