yesAfter a child gets chickenpox and overcomes it, the chickenpox virus can remain inactive in him for over 50 years then become active again in the form of a painful rash known as shingles.Some people can get infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or the Hepatitis C virus and not show symptoms for years. Those people can infect others who come into contact with their blood or other bodily fluids (saliva is OK) without even knowing that they carry a deadly virus.
