The controversial at-home sexual assault evidence collection kits appear to no longer be for sale

The PRESERVEkit, which was previously being sold on Amazon, is now listed as"currently unavailable." On Friday, the website for the PRESERVEkit stated that"we will not be selling this product while we review the legal concerns."At-home rape kits draw criticism: 'It's hard enough for survivors to get justice, and this is just making it even harder'The manufacturer of the kits, the Preserve Group, did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

Advocates for sexual assault victims have also opposed the use of at-home kits. They say survivors of sexual assault would miss out on other crucial aspects of a sexual assault exam, including treatment for physical injuries, a mental health evaluation, referral to other resources and medication to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.Valentine said it's important to keep getting the word out about the potential harm of these at-home sexual assault collection kits.
