Is this a rabies exposure?
On 14th april 2025 a monkey came near me. It was at my head height on a ledge and 2 feet infront of me. I'm worried if in any way its saliva got into my mouth due to it coughing/sneezing our growling , can i get rabies that way? I had a bleeding gum that's why i'm worried if its saliva got into my mouth and into the bleeding gum , could that lead to an infection? Also my rabies titer was greater than 4 eu/ml on 5th march and i had a booster shot on 6th march 2025 , then one on 10th march and another one just for safe measure on 28th march. If it is an exposure will my previous vaccination be enough or do i need to get more shots?

It's more of phobia than rabies, even if it's rabies exposure which is most unlikely, you are adequately protected so stop worrying and relax completely

Rabies transmission through this route is highly unlikely.
As for your question about the vaccine—what you've received is sufficient; no additional doses are needed.
