Brief Answer:
No possible dianostic finding of old rape in examination at present.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
A rape done in past can not leave any specific diagnostic evidence except for-
- Any infection left back ¬ yet cured.
- Any scratch markson genitals or body as such . A healed tear in vagina caused by the act...
*Of course both of these can be due to recent sex with your bf too...so such tear in vulva(outer part of vaginal opening..) can not stand as a proof of previous rape.
I hope you understand.
Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks
