If you have never had chickenpox, avoid contact with people who have shingles or chickenpox. Fluid from shingles blisters is contagious, and exposure to it can cause chickenpox (but not shingles) in people who have never had chickenpox.
If you develop shingles, avoid close contact with people until after the rash blisters heal. It is especially important to avoid contact with people who are at special risk from chickenpox or shingles, such as:
Pregnant women, infants, children, or anyone who has never had chickenpox.
Anyone who is currently ill.
Anyone with a weak immune system who is unable to fight infection (such as someone with HIV infection or diabetes).
One study reports that the virus that causes shingles may be released into the air from shingles sores. If you have active shingles, you may be able to prevent spreading the disease by covering the shingles sores with a type of dressing that absorbs fluids and protects the sore (hydrocolloid dressing, such as DuoDerm). 4

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 3 yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/RYtSR everything got better.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

Shingles is a mild form of chicken pox. People who have had Chicken Pox before and have lost part of their immunity to the Virus get Shingles instead of Chicken Pox.
So that said it is contagious to people who have not had Chicken Pox. i.e. they will get full blown Chicken Pox instead of just Shingles as if Shingles was not bad enough.
Same precautions apply as with Chicken Pox to keep from spreading it.
