No genital herpes and herpes zooster are slightly different types of herpes. Herpes zooster causes chicken pox and it can cause shingles later in life. If you contracted chicken pox (herpes zooster) when you were younger then you have the virus that causes shingles.
The only other type of herpes that can affect the genitals is oral herpes (what causes cold sores). If you receive oral sex from some one that has cold sores then you could end up with cold sores on your genitals.
