Is Varicella Virus Infection The Outcome Of Masturbation?
I recently masturbated, and came down with Varicella Virus. I believe it had been incubating IN my body system. But the opportunistic drop in my Immunity, via semen ejection prompted it s emergence. If I had not masturbated, would I have had symptoms?

Hello,
Varicella infection is a different entity and is caused by an infectious agent like saliva, vaginal excretion, sputum, and etcetera. It is contagious. But only with masturbation, there is no transfer of such infection from person to person nor from the vesicular scar from the infected person. You can take antiviral medication for 5-7 days, and the infection will get subsided soon. Use safety feature to maintain personal hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
