Nice try- Only if the child has herpes, and only if your boyfriend was touching the child in ways he shouldn’t. Chicken pox is caused by one type of virus, herpes is caused by another. You can only get genital herpes through sexual contact with someone who has genital herpes. However, the blisters may be caused by something other than herpes. He should get checked out ASAP.
