Out of all the victims of rape, 91% were female and 9% were male (National Woman’s). If the victim was drinking alcohol or taking drugs at the time of the attack, sexual assault is still a crime (“Sexual Assualt”).

Some people are not as lucky. If luck doesn’t come your way, you might end up having a disease that does not come with a cure. Some of these diseases include Genital Herpes, which cause blisters on sex organs, and AIDS, which breaks down the body’s defences against other infections. This HIV virus is most likely to cause death (“Medical and Health”).

If your lucky, the disease you might get can be treated. Some examples of this disease are Trichomonas, bacteria that can be spread into your fallopian tubes and cause pain; Chlamydia, bacteria that can cause painful infections that lead to infertility; and Gonorrhoea, which causes abdominal pain and vaginal discharges. Luckely, these diseases can be cured with antibiotics (“Medical and Health”).
