You cannot give shingles to someone else, and you cannot catch shingles from someone with shingles. However, if you have an attack of shingles, you can give someone chickenpox if that person makes direct contact with the sores and has never been exposed to chickenpox. Keeping the sores covered under clothing or by plasters will help prevent the spreading of the virus - and chickenpox - to others.
Shingles is highly contagious. The virus is spread through direct contact with fluid from the blisters. The virus cannot be transmitted to others by sneezing, coughing or casual contact. How to prevent the transmission of shingles to others: 1  If you have shingles, keep the rash covered. 2  Do not touch or scratch the rash. 3  Frequent hand-washing helps prevent the spread of the virus. 4  Until your rash or blisters have developed scabs, avoid contact with pregnant women who never had chickenpox.
