Not OP but: If he had shingles at a young-ish age it could have been misdiagnosed as herpes. I had to literally beg to get tested for shingles instead of just running an STI panel and they STILL sent me home with herpes medication and told me to start it ASAP. Results came in, no STIs (I wasn’t even sexually active yet...) but shingles in a teenager.
