Suggest Remedy For Genital Outbreak

I recently had blood work done after a genital outbreak and came back positive for hsv 1 and 2. My girlfriend, who I ve been with sexually for about 3 months got tested and came back positive for 1 and negative for 2. I don t know what her numbers are yet, but my test was an IGG and my result for hsv 1 was around 40, and hsv 2 was 1.31. I ve never had issues until now, only been with two other women(both tested). Is it possible that my outbreak was caused by hsv 1 and my hsv2 was a false positive
