No. I actually believe that trauma raises the cortisol in one's body, and there are many illnesses that can come from having a trauma or specifically a sexual assault. I believe there is a connection, but I don't know the literature around this, and that would be something I would need to look at: the correlation of that. I definitely think that any time the body is stressed, they're more at risk for illness.
