I'm certainly no expert, but I've never heard that shingles could cause infertility in men.

Shingles DO NOT cause infertility in men.

Hello there, I found this site to be very informative
http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/articles/shingles.html
I have heard a few times that it does contribute to infertility in men however neither of these two sites mention it so it probably is a myth. Here is the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes_zoster

No. Shingles, a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV, the virus that causes chicken pox), does NOT cause infertility.
