Can high risk hpv viruses be transmitted non-sexually?(eg-from mother to child,by wearing the unwashed clothes of an infected person to a healthy one,by swimming pools?

The high risk HPV types are only transmitted by sex, not by environmental exposure or from mother to child in the household. Don't worry about it.
