No, this is NOT possible. Incubation is usuallly 4-6 weeks but may be as short as 6 days, or as long as a year.

theres an old study about the longer incubation time of rabies virus, held in turkey (where rabies was endemic those days with respect to today) which has found it to be 10 years, but according to that script the latest case in the literature ever is noted to be 19 years,so even though very less probable, there is a so-called risk. But the best way was to assure that the animal did not have rabies, (because at the time of biting, when the virus is present in the saliva of the animal), the animal was to be kept under observation for 10 days (according to WHO), and if no signs of sickness occured then it would be cleaned. Yet I dont believe theres anything to worry about..take it easy, such a probability is so so so low..

I think you need to go to a doctor and have a rabies titer done. It is done by drawing blood. I am not sure if you have rabies because if you didn't have any symptoms 20 years ago, then you probably don't have it.
