A rape kit

A rape kit is all the tools necessary to determine if you were or have been raped. They are also known as the "Jane Doe rape kits". These are private.

A sexual assault evidence collection kit, sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kit or Sexual Offense Evidence Collection (SOEC) kit in New York^[1] is a set of items used by medical personnel for gathering and preserving physical evidence following a sexual assault which can be used in criminal proceedings. The kit was developed by Louis R. Vitullo and was for years referred to as the Vitullo kit.

The term applies also to the collected evidence for a specific case.

In the United States, as of 2009 states will have to pay for "Jane Doe rape kits," also known as anonymous rape tests, in order to continue to receive funding under the U.S. Violence Against Women Act.^[2]
