Can chickenpox be sexually transmitted?

Chickenpox is transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets and direct contact, but can also be transmitted indirectly through contact with contaminated utensils.
Varicella virus is mostly found in the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and herpes fluid, which may be infected after contact. In the rash stage, the rash is located on the trunk, face and limbs, and papules, blisters and scabs may appear simultaneously or singly.
Herpes does not usually appear in the genital area, so it is not spread by sexual behavior. However, it is possible to get infected if you come into contact with the herpes fluid and upper respiratory tract mucosal viruses of a chickenpox patient during sexual intercourse.
Sexual contact can not be infected with chickenpox, but the skin of both parties in sexual contact will be in contact, so it is possible to be infected. It is recommended that patients with chickenpox prohibit sexual activity.
Chickenpox is a contagious disease, and patients should be isolated until all herpes have scabbed over. If chickenpox occurs, you should go to the hospital in time.
