Shingles exposure

If you had chicken pox you are fine. You cannot get shingles from someone who has shingles. You could contract the chicken pox virus if you have never had it but you would basically have to touch the affected areas on the person.

Exactly this! If you had chicken pox then being around someone with shingles is fine. Shingles can give someone chicken pox but not shingles.
