What does it mean for an adult to have high levels of the chickenpox virus in their blood?

It is not normal to have a test to detect the level of chickenpox virus in your blood. There is a high level of chickenpox virus in your blood early in the infection. I suspect that you're asking about chickenpox antibody levels in your blood. High levels of antibodies to varicella zoster virus indicates immunity, whether through previous infection or through vaccination.

Adults can get both chickenpox and shingles. Prior to universal vaccination in the US, chickenpox was considered a "childhood" disease. Since vaccination became routine, the average age of chickenpox patients has increased. The virus that causes the disease, varicella zoster virus, lives, dormant, in the spinal cord after the disease is over . In later adult years, this can flare up again as shingles. An adult who never had chickenpox or the vaccine can't get shingles. Between one in five and one in three adults will get shingles after having chickenpox.
