I have hpv and have been using a menstrual cup for periods. i boil my cup in a cooking pot. my roommate has accidentally been using the same pot i boil my period cup in to cook her food. should i be concerned she will get hpv in her throat?

HPV is instantaneously inactivated by boiling water. No risk at all. The household contacts of persons with genital HPV never catch it despite years of sharing toilets, kitchens, eating utensils, etc -- assuming they aren't also sex partners of the infected person. Your roommate cannot catch your HPV without sex with you.
