You belong hereFind an examiner quickly
In Find Support, choose “Sexual assault exams (Rape Kits)” and enter a ZIP code. Exam locations and services that help locate an examiner are labeled separately. The directory includes selected locations across several U.S. states, with expanded Texas coverage and nationwide navigation. A state with a listing may still have large gaps in local coverage.
RAINN can help you find exam care and local advocacy. Call 800-656-4673 or open its call, text and chat options. If there is a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency care; do not delay urgent care while searching this directory.
A short checklist for the call
You can start with: “I’m looking for a sexual assault forensic exam. Is an examiner available, and where should I go?”
Ask which ages the program serves, the correct entrance, whether to arrange the visit first, and what happens if an examiner is unavailable. You can also ask about an advocate, language or accessibility support, costs and transportation options.
Our directory welcomes women, men, trans and nonbinary people, and every sexual orientation. Provider requirements vary; ask about the care and support you need. You do not need to describe what happened to search this website.
If time has passed or you have washed
Seek care as soon as you can. Even if time has passed, or you have bathed or changed clothes, an exam program can discuss your options. Evidence collection depends on the circumstances; this directory does not use a single hour cutoff.
Medical care can still be useful when evidence collection is not possible or not wanted. A clinician can discuss injuries and other health concerns.

Your choices during care
You can ask the examiner to explain each step, request a break, or decline part of the exam. Ask about an advocate or a trusted support person.
Before sharing details, you can ask about confidentiality, reporting rules and consent. Rules can differ for children, adolescents and vulnerable adults. A provider or advocate can explain the options that apply to you.

Ask about costs
Forensic evidence collection and other medical care can have different payment rules. Ask the program what is covered and whether other care could create a bill.
The Texas Attorney General says patients should not be billed for the forensic part of a sexual assault exam. Its separate medical-cost assistance programs have eligibility requirements. This does not mean every related hospital service is free.

Texas A&M’s Center of Excellence in Forensic Nursing maintains a map of exam and advocacy services, also linked by the Texas Attorney General. It can help you explore places beyond our current listings. The map requires JavaScript; contact a listed provider to confirm exam access.
What source-checked means
We checked official provider information for each listed exam location. The date, source link, public address and age guidance appear with the listing. We have not confirmed live staffing, an appointment or a referral. Call before going when it is safe to do so.
Exam listings expire from search unless their source review is renewed. An empty search does not mean there is no care nearby. Use the navigation services or RAINN for additional options.
