If you live in a city, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a free clinic. But as said before, if she's under 18 it's most likely going to be reported as child abuse.
I just read an article not two days ago about FGM (female genital mutilation) being practiced in the US as a way of tying relocated people to their homeland. Although my many anthropology classes have tried to teach me not to judge one culture by the standards of another (i.e., my own) I can't help but think of this practice as very wrong because of its distorted views on female sexuality and *how* it is usually practiced. But back to topic...I wish you and your friend luck in getting her checked out. Take care, and be blessed.
