Curious

How many people have caught ghsv1 from sex only ?

If you have both oral and gential type 1 do you shed at the same time ?

Everyone sheds without symptoms. That's what shedding is. Again genital hsv1 is not a big concern

I read once that only 25% people shed it without sythoms don't know how true that is though

Genital hsv1 sheds very little and isn't very potent when it does. That's why transmision through intercourse is very rare.

There are no stats for your first question. This is believed to be extremely rare through.
You may shed at the same time but that would be a coincidence. Genital hsv1 sheds a lot less than oral hsv1.
