I still am very skeptical that this is a correct diagnosis. Diarrhea is not a symptom of herpes. You need the western blot for greatest accuracy. I do think your high HSV 1 could be cross reacting with the HSV 2 test – we see it all the time.
If you have white areas on your genitalia, you should be evaluated and swab tested in person.
The timing for acquisition of HSV 2 is possible from this partner, if you have it
