It sounds like you're in the UK. Do you have rape crisis centers that have medical advocates? Here in my city in the US, we've got an organization that provides someone to go to the hospital with you who is trained to be there for you and tell you about your rights in regards to the test and be there for you and talk to you throughout the test. While I never went to the hospital after what happened to me, I've met some of the advocates, and they're a really great resource if you have them available to you.
I'm glad you're getting the support you need. You're really brave. :)
