skinut2234 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have Shingles- went to doctor the other day- I've always gotten really bad cold sores when I get stressed.... I got really stressed a week ago and I guess it was enough to weaken the immune system.... Does anyone know if it's transferable thru contact, or sex (kissing??) Link to post Share on other sites

Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella virus. So you can pass varicella (most commonly known as chicken pox) to anyone who has not had this disease nor been vaccinated.
