Generally speaking, no. Humans infected with the rabies virus may take up to several months before becoming symptomatic, but rabies is always symptomatic in humans. Moreover, humans do not appear to be able to transmit rabies, except in the very unusual case of a human in the active stage of the disease biting something else. That is, there is no passive transmission possible.
In fact, all species (except possibly bats, but even that is uncertain) will always develop an active case of rabies once infected. The onset time varies, as does the speed of death, but the disease is not transmittable during its non-active stage.
