ultimate99 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type 1 is latent, so you have it and it can show any time. If you didn't get chicken pox when you were a kid, you're at high chances of developing a more severe disease, don't really remember which from the top of my head.

shakey_snake Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Chicken pox is in the family of Herpesviridae but is not Herpes-simplex, which is what most people usually mean by "herpes". Hierarchical thinking: it's what separates us from apes. Learn it. :p So, yes, I've had VZV, no I haven't had herpes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
