Re: Information about shingles
Shingles is caused by the Varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Anyone who's had chickenpox has the potential of developing shingles. People with weakened immune systems from HIV/AIDS, those who are receiving medical treatments, such as steroids, radiation and chemotherapy, or those who have a history of bone or lymphatic cancer are more likely to develop shingles. A person with shingles can pass the Varicella-zoster virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before through direct contact with the open sores of the shingles rash.

are you open to your friends about masturbation? do you talk openly about it? I always think of it as one of those socially unacceptable subjects, I don t talk to friends about it.
