ABSOLUTELY NOT! AIDS is contracted through unprotected sexual activity, sharing needles for injections, and sometimes getting blood from an infected person in an open wound or cut. Chicken pox is usually transferred through air or spit, AIDS cannot be caught in that manner and certainly cannot attach itself to the chicken pox virus.
