I contracted genital warts 9 years ago. last wart was over 3 years ago. ive had two warts in 3 months. is there any reason why this may happen? should i be worried about transmission to my family via washing machine, towels, bedding etc?

Development of warts depends on the invasiveness of the virus and the persons immune system. So warts and appear and disappear with no set pattern. Using sanitary methods to handle those items- detergents etc will prevent spread
