Rabies anxiety

I masturbated without washing my hands after touching a puppy. My question is, what if the virus or bacteria that was on my hands entered my vagina. Will it cause rabies? Please help me.

Well, the way rabies works is normally through a bite.  If not a bite, then from a wound that the dog's saliva got into (less likely).  Always a good practice to wash your hands. AND, to get rabies from said puppy, said puppy would have to have rabies. Doubtful.
