Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthacareMagic.

Secretion of semen will not affect your immunity. Had the immunity not developed and had the dog been rabid, you would have been dead by now. Since that is not the case, I suggest you not to worry.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the update. I completed my vaccination from pasteur institute , XXXXXXX After completion of my vaccination course i sent my serum samples to
NIMHANS, XXXXXXX to get RFFIT test done to check my rabies antibodies . I sent them the sample by a logistic vendor from XXXXXXX only. I was unable to attach the .pdf generated report over here as i am having some problem with laptop. Hence, i am copying the result of the report and pasting it only in the chat window. Please suggest me whether the report is fine or not or else i will have to take another set of vaccinations. Please suggest.

Result:

Rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titre by Rapid fluorescent focus

inhibition test (RFFIT) in Serum is 16384 (120 IU/ml).

Interpretation:

Suggestive of adequate titres of RVNA post-vaccination.

Thnaks in advance sir.
