Can shingles cause infertility in males?

I have shingles nd now my friend won't come near me coz he thinks if he gets it he'll be infertile.

-.-''

??

NO. Shingles is the latent form of chicken pox. It lays along the nerve root and when your bodies immunity is low is when it usually pops out. It has nothing to do with infertility.

No.
Shingles is not contagious. He can't get it and even if he has it, it doesn't cause infertility.
The only general infective disease that may cause infertility is mumps.

No. Shingles is another form of Chicken Pox and flares up when the immune system is lacking.

No. Shingles is a reactivation of the virus that causes chickenpox. So if he has had chickenpox in the past, then he can get shingles if HIS body has a reactivation of the virus that will always be in his body. He can't catch it from you though.
