A member asked:
Can i go to the university etc. if i have shingles? should i stay away from the aged to prevent the infection from spreading to them?

Children not old one: A person with shingles can transmit the virus that causes chicken pox. So it is more important to stay away from children who have not had chicken pox. You can not transmit shingles.
