Can i be intimate with a person who has been bitten by a cat and is currently receiving the rabies shots. ( 1 dose till now, 4 more to go)?

Yes: There is no transmission of disease from a human receiving rabies immune globulin prophylaxis following rabies exposure or preventive rabies vaccine. I hope this helps. Stay well:)
