[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 414660"] I'll hit on this part. Yes, it is possible. HPV is something that can cause this. My sister has HPV (warts strain, but she has to have cervical biopsies once or twice a year because she has abnormal paps, too). When I had custody there were extra precautions we had to take. Above and beyond not sharing towels, hers was hung up away from the other towels. All her stuff had to be washed in hot water. The toilet seat was disinfected every time it was used. There are many strains of HPV, and not all require as direct contact as you think because it's also in the blood, so open cuts on anyone had to be carefully dealt with ASAP and kept covered. There are strains that can transmit in the saliva, so sharing cups, utensils, etc., is also out. A best friend of mine had cervical cancer (which can be caused by yet another strain of HPV), and when we lived together we also took extra precautions, so by the time I had my sister living with me I already had been through all the extra stuff once. Turns out friend's cancer was not HPV-related, but the trial run was priceless in terms of what I had to learn and came in handy later. That said, HPV is not the only cause of warts so far as I know, but yes, innocent transmission can and does happen. I'm not saying to remove her from therapy or anything like that, but you might want to see if they can do a blood test to determine if she has HPV and if so which strain. You may also want to start taking extra precautions to protect everyone else in the house. [/QUOTE]
