Answer of all your questions are research based. So, reply depends on result of research which are multiple and results are not exactly same.
But if you are suspecting for individual or yourself, you must know rabies is 100% fatal.
So always advisable to take measures like vaccine.
At individual case , results become 100 percent success or 100 percent fatal.
Next Steps
Always consider vaccine if you doubt transmission.

Greetings
It is generally understood that both the rabies virus and HIV are relatively fragile outside of a host body and can die quickly when exposed to the environment. The risk associated with touching contaminated objects with cuts and then mucous membranes might be present, but typically the virus does not survive long on surfaces. The likelihood of contaminating all home utensils and accessories, and subsequently putting family members at significant risk through indirect contact, is generally considered very low due to the virus's fragility outside of a living host.
