So As A Child I Was Contracted With The Shingles

So as a child I was contracted with the shingles virus bc of the chicken pox vaccine and every now and then I break out on my leg, but w my valtrex medication it goes away. I recently took a full std panel and came up negative for HSV1 - the cold sores- but this is weird bc I had that as a child. And now HSV2 came up positive. Could hsv1 never have been in my body as a child, even though I had the cold sores? How could it turn into HSV2 - is it bc I have shingles?
