Is a rape kit the same as a pelvic exam?

Is doing a rape kit like doing a pelvic exam?

No, a pelvic exam may be done by a physician for normal check up reasons, or because the patient is concerned over a possible issue. a Rape Kit exam is done specifically to
preserve forensic samples, I.e. semen, foreign hair or other D.N.A. source material, evidence of violence or tearing etc. This is necessary for preservation of evidence in
case the suspect is captured, and the case goes to prosecution.
