Q: is it possible for me to spread hpv to my children if i share drinks or utensils or food with them?

: The sexual/genital forms of HPV are passed skin to skin from an active case that is shedding virus to a vulnerable recipient. Random contact with utensils is not a transfer agent. These germ strains do not act like staph or strep by passing through random contact.
