You appear to be confused about the nature of shingles. A positive varicella titer shows that you have had chickenpox in the past, or that you have had the vaccine for chickenpox. You can't get shingles unless you've had chickenpox. If you have had chickenpox, a positive varicella titer is not protective against shingles, and you may need the vaccine. Discuss with your health care provider whether shingles vaccine makes sense for you.

Shingles vaccine protects you from the shingles for few years only.

There is no cure for shingles. Shingles or "zoster" is caused by the reactivation of the chicken pox virus in our bodies. It can be treated with antiviral medications such as acyclovir or Valtrex. Steroids are used for severe cases to control symptoms of pain, but do not cure shingles.
