Question 1

can i pass rabies through kiss after a few hours after getting the vaccine?

Accepted Answer

No: No, you will not pass live rabies to someone after receiving a vaccine, even if you kiss that person, or even bite that person!

Question 2

a car scrachted me then i started vaccine with suspect of rabies i got my first vaccine then i kissed my girlfriend so is that a risk to pass her?

Accepted Answer

No: Many questions...surprised if  you got rabies treatment for a cat scratch; almost always transmitted through a bite. If you are receiving prophylaxis/rabies vaccine to protect again future bites/exposures, also no concern with kissing. There is no transmission of disease from a human receiving rabies vaccine. I hope this helps. Stay well:)

Question 4

last day i got bitten by a dog. after getting my first vaccine shot i kissed my girlfriend. is is possible   to pass rabies to my girlfriend?

Accepted Answer

Rabies: Most rabies is acquired through exposure to saliva from an animal bite. In rare cases, rabies results from a non-bite exposure (eg, aerosolized virus in bat caves) or transplantation of tissue from a donor with unrecognized rabies.

No transmission of rabies has been documented from infected patients to healthcare personnel or household contacts or by fomites or environmental surfaces.

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: The rabies vaccination you received contained killed virus, which stimulated your immune system to produce antibodies which protected you from developing the disease, if you were bitten by a rabid animal.  Other vaccines for certain viral disorders may contain attenuated live virus which rarely may cause the disease itself.  The vaccine protected you from developing the disease, Not to worry.

Question 6

a street cat scracht me 3 days ago then i get my first vaccine then i kissed with my girlfriend is it possible to pass rabies to her ? scracht on hand

Accepted Answer

No risk of spread: Good you are getting treatment after a possible rabies exposure. Can they find the cat that scratched u? That would be very helpful to determine the best course of treatment for you. Don't worry though-you are NO RISK to anyone at this time because you don't have an actual rabies infection. You can't infect someone if you don't have the disease. In your case, you're preventing rabies-which is good

Question 7

a friend got bitten (hand) by a stray cat and we sent him to get the rabies shot done. after and right before the first dose we kissed a lot (also my lip was bleeding a little). should i be worried? (i also finished the rabies vaccines in january?

Accepted Answer

: You would not get rabies in this manner. In addition, if you had the rabies series this past January, you would have plenty of antibodies against rabies to protect you. Best of luck to you!
