The Clincian Assumed My Sexual Assault was Vaginal/Penile Intercouse?
went to a sexual health care center to check for STDs after I was sexually assaulted. A man digitally penetrated my vagina after masterbating.
During my first appointment, I explained to the clinician that I was sexually assaulted by a bisexual male and I was concerned about possibly contracted HIV.
She advised me that I should go to the health department to get tested.
I just received a copy of my complete file that I requested and she wrote down "Advised HIV test for coitus unprotected with bisexual male."
She failed to write down that it was a sexual assault. Now it looks like it was a consentual act. Also, I did not have coitus unprotected. Doesn’t she know that a woman can be sexually assaulted without having the attacker insert his penis into the vagina? Why did she assume it was coitus? I know it is incredibly rare to get HIV from a digital pentration, but there is still a slim chance.
Should I have my record ammended? Also, during my second visit, I explained my assault more in depth to the clinician (a different clinician was working that day). This time I clarified and stated "I was sexually assaulted when a man inserted his finger into my vagina." This time she wrote"Sexual Assault ‘He fingered me’"
Now it looks like I had a sexual assualt in which I said "He fingered me" AND a consentual coitus with a bisexual male.
Their use of the term "fingered" makes it look as if I was describing a consentual act. Also, my sexual assault looks less convincing since it appears that I voluntarily had sexual intercourse with a bisexual male.
Should I have it ammended? Why did she assume that "sexual assault" meant vaginal/penile intercourse? One can sexually assault another in numerous ways besides putting his penis into the vagina.
Thoughts?

You need to set the record straight in case you decide to prosecute. A lawyer will have a field with the discrepancy; you’ll end up looking like a liar.
It was irresponsible for the clinician to assume that the assault wasn’t as you told her.
i’d talk to her about it, she really should be asking how it actually happened. just make your points clear about it to people who should know about it
