Prothom Alo says Nafis is suffering from herpes zoster. He might not be able to play in U19 world cup. Feel sorry for this guy

Ok, now I am not the medical expert here but if I am not mistaken is'nt herpes a sexually contracted disease or am I wrong. What happened to such a bright boy?

Herpes Zoster, also known as Shingles, is caused by the same virus, varicella-zoster, that causes chickenpox. It is not considered as a sexually transmitted disease. It causes intense and debilitating pain in areas where blisters appear, typically on one side of the chest or face.
