No risk at all. Household contacts of persons with genital HPV never catch it, even after years of sharing toilets, kitchens, towels, eating utensils, or even sleeping in the same bed (assuming no sex). Children never catch it from their infected parents. This is your second such question. Please believe it: No Risk!
