HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though rabies can produce effects years after exposure, you would likely have effects by this time.
In addition, the bloods for rabies would have shown some evidence of rabies, these bloods would normally reflect this condition after a few months so would definitely show changes after 19 years.
This means that you are not at this moment or ever have been infected with rabies
I hope this helps
