AnswerIt is possible, yes, since being sick with one thing usually doesn't protect you against another infection. In the case of parvovirus B19 (which causes a rash with a slapped cheek appearance) and varicella-zoster, there is no reason why they could not occur together. It will not be easy to see, however, in a person with chicken pox, as the fever itself may produce red cheeks.Wiki User
∙ 10y agoA person who has shingles can infect others with chicken pox, but only if those persons (usually children) never had chicken pox before. If a person with shingles is around a person/child who already had chicken pox, the other people won't get chicken pox or shingles.
The defining factors in shingles are:
- The person already had chicken pox
- The person is generally over 50 years old
- The person may also have a compromised immune system

If you have herpes or have had the chickenpox does that mean that you are CMV positive?
No, cytomegalovirus is a separate virus from Varicella Zoster virus (the one that causes chickenpox) and herpes simplex virus (which causes genital herpes and cold sores and related illnesses). It is possible to have all three at the same time, but they are separate viruses and if you have herpes or have had the chickenpox, it does not mean that you are CMV positive.
