Herpes Zoster & ARS?

Friedns:

5 weeks ago I had a protected vaginal sex with a CSW,  I had no idea whether she was hiv positive or not. On 40th day I felt my chest hot, and two days later I saw 4 lumps of rashes on my chest and back, which felt quite painful. I saw my doctor, he said it is Herpes Zoster, and gave me some pills.

I know that Herpes Zoster occurs when people's immunity declined, I dont know whether its a symbol of ARS, in some materials I read that ARS will decrease one's Immunity rapidly,  I dont know whether my Herpes Zoster has any relationship with ARS. Can ARS damage my immunity and then arouse the Herpes Zoster?

And during the past 5 weeks, I haven't had fever or other symptoms.

thank you
