Even if they aren't directly injecting *pox, compromised immune systems will spontaneously "get" pox infections from past exposure. That's what shingles is: you get chicken pox year's ago and fight it off, but never kill it all. Its just held dormant by your immune system. If your immune system is compromised it comes roaring back without any additional exposure because it was already there.
Can confirm. Have had chickenpox twice once as a kid and once when I was 30. Much worse as an adult tbh
