This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

  1. Can I have sex while getting the rabies vaccine, as it is my third?
  2. Is it possible that my partner may become infected with rabies as a result of our sexual interactions?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I can provide some general information about the RabiVax vaccine and its safety during sexual activity.

RabiVax (Rabies vaccine) is a vaccine used to prevent rabies virus infection in humans. The vaccine is administered in a series of doses, typically three injections over a specific period. Once the vaccination series is over, the vaccine provides immunity against the rabies virus. As for the safety of having sex during the RabiVax (Rabies) vaccination process, it is considered safe for vaccinated individuals to engage in sexual activities. However, it is essential to follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding any specific restrictions or precautions related to your situation.

Regarding the transmission of the rabies virus through sexual contact, it is not typically transmitted through skin-to-skin contact or sexual intercourse. The virus is primarily transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal, usually through saliva. However, if you or your partner has been exposed to the rabies virus through a bite or scratch from an infected animal, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

While having sex during the RabiVax (Rabies vaccine) vaccination process should be safe, I suggest always following your healthcare provider's guidance. The rabies virus is not commonly transmitted through sexual contact, but it is essential to be aware of potential risks if you or your partner have been exposed to the virus through an animal bite or scratch.

I hope this information will help you.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
