There is no interaction between rabies vaccine and ARV. Only contraindication would be to avoid with immunosuppressive drugs, steroids, etc, which may impact its effectiveness.

If additional high risk exposure while adherent with PEP regimen nothing additional would need to be done. They are effectively on PrEP for that exposure. Should strongly recommend transition to PrEP following completion of PEP regimen.
