The biobehavioral impacts of sexual violence: Findings from an acute repeat survivor of vaginal rape.

This profile illustrates the intra-individual biobehavioral impact of experience with revictimization over the course of 6 months, capturing experiences that are rarely studied either longitudinally or with the depth of the current research. The findings underscore the value of monitoring cervicovaginal immune functioning and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation in coordination with changes in mental health over the course of repeated sexual trauma.
