PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMERS BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE SEXUAL ASSAULT THERAPEUTIC GUIDELINES

Re: Women's Assault Guideline
This guideline is the specific guideline used by the Sexual Assault Teams at BC Women's Hospital. It is not a provincial or national guideline and although it is supported by other organizations, it is not intended to define practice outside the Sexual Assault Team at BC Women's Health. It does not preclude or exclude any other appropriate medical or legal evaluations which would occur in the setting of a sexual assault and those standards of care should still be met. The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS has included this guideline on its website to make it more readily available to healthcare practitioners.
The BC Centre for Excellence is not establishing a standard of care for sexual assaults and practitioners should follow their best practice policies.
Yours sincerely,
Alastair McLeod, MD
Chair, Committee on Accidental Exposures, BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS
