How Is HSV Infection Transmitted?

Recently my ex girlfriend told me she has hsv 2, she had an outbreak and they did a biopsy and told her it was hsv 2. I went and had a lgg blood test done and it came back 28 for hsv 1 and less than .91 for hsv 2. Just trying to figure out how I could have hsv 1 and her hsv 2
