Rabies anxiety
Skin around my finger was peeling and I touched a cat. There was no bite/scratch. And mostly no saliva contact too but not sure. I started ARV 60 hours later and did 3 doses only. Cat is still alive and ok after 22 days. I am feeling general anxiety and uneasiness still.
Could this be a symptom of rabies or do I just have non rabies anxiety .
I have severe anxiety even before this incident but not taking any medication.

Since the risk of rabies is very low, you have started art and the cat is well it is probably anxiety and rumination.
