I finished my anti-rabies vaccine series on August 7, 2017, but its only been 15 days and I'm bitten by a dog again. Do I need to get vaccinated once more? The dog had its shots in June 2017. Can you advise?

I'm feeling really anxious and depressed after an experience with an escort where the condom accidentally slipped. I immediately pulled out and put on a new one, but now I'm really worried about my chances of catching HIV or an STD. It's been three days, and I can't stop thinking about it. Can you help ease my mind or let me know what my risks really are?
