This article goes into more detail:

I would get tested for this. If you have reactivation of herpes simplex or herpes zoster, these can be treated with antivirals.
Your use of poppers suggests you were in a high risk environment for viral transmission.

Herpes zoster typically lives in the ganglions and reactivates.
I'd also get tested for Hep B and C, and HIV.
Would an activation of herpes cause all over body burning? and the hand pain? and/or the reduced nerve strength in my hands (numbness at night when bend elbows etc)

And my poppers use was restricted to safe heterosexual monogamous relationship use.

Thank you MrsD for your help
