Get IGG Blood test. I am currently in the same situation as you. I got a little bump on my penis 2 weeks ago, and just got tested positive for HSV1. I heard there could be possibility of false positives depending on your IGG level. I have no idea how I contracted it either and my partner doesn't have. Doctors say theres no way to find out who got it first.
Gyno took swab culture or blisters and the testing came back as HSV1. No blood test. He was never tested. Just assumed we had the same virus.
how were you diagnosed as having hsv1 genitally?
did your partner ever get any testing done a year ago to know his status?
