Chickenpox as an adult?

2017-12-24 04:59:27
I’ve never had chickenpox. I’m getting a varicella titer tomorrow. My husband has shingles and I touched his rash when it first appeared (bumps but hadn’t yet blistered) before we knew it was shingles. Should I be concerned about contracting chickenpox from when I first touched his rash? I now know not to touch it.
