People are so funny assuming you are doing something kinky. Are you? Anyway, I gather that you are wondering if you could contract rabies from someone who was just exposed to rabies.
I would think you would if you exchanged fluids. My suggestion would to get a rabies vacinne ASAP.
BTW, that was a good question. It made me go, "hmm."

I am not aware of any cases in literature where human to human rabies transmission occurred. Rabies is a fatal disease if left untreated. It infects the central nervous system and is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. I believe the rabies virus is secreted in the saliva.
Theoretically, it would be possible to contract rabies to the exposure of infected saliva. A broken mucous membrane would also have to be present.

"Rabies usually is transmitted through infected saliva as a result of a bite from an infected animal. Rarely, it is transmitted by viral contamination of a fresh wound, through a scratch, or through contamination of a mucous membrane (i.e., eyes, nose, mouth). There have been reports of rabies being transmitted through the air in bat-infested caves."
Are you asking this because you want to have sex with a rabid animal? Or with a human who has rabies? Either way...I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, it can be transmitted through mucous membranes and infected saliva is the usually means of transmission (nuff said) into the open wounds from the bites. It's also been known to be transmitted through the air. I would bet that sexual transmission is pretty rare though.

Well next time you see a Big Ole Yeller Dog slobbering at the fits. You reach out and grab that ole dog and hold him still and penetrate his asss and if you get lucky you just might get off with rabies.

It wouldnt be consider a STD but it would deffenetly be transmitted to your blood. I mean a dog with rabis that bites you he tranfers it to you, thats why you have to go to the emergency room and get a speacial vaccination for that. Its deffenetly a transmitted disease, but its not consider to be a STD.

It might be possible if your partner is a real animal! Good luck Anita B.

Only if you are planning on having sex with a rabid animal.

No, rabies is a virus attacking the brain.
Wow.... strange question?

Yes. (Here we go again)...Any exchange of fluids with someone infected with rabies can put you at risk.
