Never heard of it: I have never ever heard of a case of transmission of hpv from such casual contact as viral shedding on linens and then contact with that. Hpv does not live off the body well, so the likelihood that you are going to infect yourself just sleeping on sheets she has slept on in my mind is right next to zero. It's the old you don't catch std's from toilet seats - you need more intimate contact.

Relax: Time has shown us that it takes some genital to genital contact and a degree of friction to transfer this type of germ.If that did not occur you can rest easy, pun intended.
