Can a person with type1 (oral) herpes infect even he/she does not have cold sore!
Question: You are much more infectious when you are having an active outbreak; however, some studies have shown that people, without have an outbreak, have an 18% of infecting someone who does not have hsv-1.
Mind you, hsv-1 is extremely common and normally is contracted as a young child from things like kissing relatives/friends, sharing cups/utensils and also chicken pox can cause hsv-1.
It's best not to have mucus membrane contact if you feel an outbreak coming out, during the outbreak and a week after you have healed due to peak shedding time.

No. You need to have an active sore to transmit it to someone else.
yes, trials have shown that before an outbreak, you can be shedding viral particles. However, you are much more infectious once the sore has formed.
