Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Does anyone know the stat of women that contract an STI as a result of 
a rape?  I keep on seeing "up to 33% or 40%"-both of these imply from 
0% on up (very broad!) , and I cannot find a source for them....

Thanks!

Juliette
