Chicken Pox is the name of the infection caused by the "varicella zoster virus". After this infection seemingly ends, the varicella virus remains in a dormant condition in the nervous system for life. It can get "reactivated" and appear as "shingles/herpes zoster".

What is the difference between a active virus and a hidden virus?

The " hidden " virus is called a provirus and it insets it's genetic material into the genome of the invaded cell so that the cell copies itself many times and copies the virus also. An active virus just invades and hijacks the cell immediately to reproduce the virus. The " hidden " type of virus does come out after a time and acts like a active virus then Google lytic cycle and lysoginy.
