Can herpes zoster be sexually transmitted

First: herpes zoster patients have virus in blister fluid. If children who are not immune to the virus come into contact with blister fluid, they will be infected and have chickenpox, but this kind of opportunity is relatively small. Most adults have immunity, so even if they come into contact, they will not get sick

Second, most people will be infected with varicella zoster virus in childhood, but only a part of them have clinical manifestations of varicella, and many people are ignored because of asymptomatic or mild symptoms after infection.

Third: after the first infection, the human body has a long-lasting immunity, rarely suffering from chickenpox, but the specific immunity can not remove the latent virus in the ganglion, so it can not prevent the occurrence of herpes zoster.
