Answers:
No, he can't carry YOUR virus to others!.Only you can !.Contageous period for chicken pox is 2-3 days before symptoms appear and 2-3 days after sores appear and until all the sores have crusted over, approximately two weeks, sometimes even a little longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You and he are contagious until the last pox dries up and the scab falls off!. Yes, he can carry virus from home to share with other people!. Both you and he need to stay far away from other people, unless they already have had chicken pox!. Public places are off limits, really- since you shed the virus though coughs and the fluid from your pox, and can leave it behind for some other poor soul to pick up!. When you have chicken pox in the household, the safest thing is for all the family to limit contact with others!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, both of you are contagious!. When people are sick, they really need to stay home, no matter what the reason is!. Your job, friends, social life, or whatever else will still be there when you are better!. The only way to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease is to stay home and avoid other people, especially ones who haven't had the disease, have not been vaccinated, and the elderly because they are at risk for developing Shingles from it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As far as I know they are contagious when they haven't even broke out yet and when they are in the middle of it!. Once they start to break and heal they are no longer contagious, BUT some people can carry it and not be infected themselves and transmit it to others!.!.!.!.
If you're really not sure!.!.call your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
