I was just told i had hpv my kids always use my dry towels did i just put them at risk. please help asap?

No worries: Anything's possible, but in real life, sharing towels is not a way to catch HPV. Children are vaccinated against HPV (human papilloma virus) around age 11-12. If one tends to worry, she can ask for her kids to get vaccinated at age 9 years. We have to live stress-free lives as much as possible, which means we cannot spend our days worrying about little things like catching HPV from Mom's towel.
