Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Rabies would have killed you by now if you did have rabies.
You could take a course of vaccination now as it would protect you if anything happens in future but as of now you can be sure you don't have rabies.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
