Rabies question

2021-09-17 08:02:03
If my guinea pig is alive 10 days after scratching me, does it mean he doesnt have rabies?? (I took full ARV in Jan 2021, in August I took 2 booster shots and the guinea pig scratched me in September 2021, do I need the booster again??) Please answer to both the questions, thankyou.

Guinea pigs dont have rabies, there was no need of ARV or booster. Just TT injection was good enough
