Can rabies be spread from human to human through sex?


My partner had an encounter with a rabid cat about a month ago. They have had their shots now and seem to be healthy. Is it safe for us to resume sexual activity? Is rabies like an STD? I'm asking because I read somewhere that people can give rabies to others through organ transplants. I figured sex fluids could count too.

You are absolutely right. Precuations are needed.

If you goggle in "Rabies and sexual activity" you will be directed to a web site which will give so much more information than I can give here.
