The same is true of my friend's husband. >>From what we were told, 80% of people who are unsure about prior >exposure or who have never had the chicken pox are immune anyway. You >may want to have your doctor screen your blood for antibodies before >visiting anyone who has the virus. > >Tina Kim- I agree with Tina. Go have your OB order a Varicella Titer ( the test to see if you are immune to chicken pox) More than likely you are immune. I never had it either but had the titer done in nursing school and lo and behold I was immune. Good Luck karen
