 [ Symptoms ] i have high risk hpv can i take a bath with my 2 yr old daughter or could she catch it and if she did is it dangerous  i have had high risk hpv had for years and i can not seem to be able to get rid of it there is a famous french gynecologist who is convinced that you can transmit hpv in water she says she is seen kids with hpv warts who had not been abused do you think it is possible and in that case should i avoid baths with my daughter if she caught my high risk hpv could it potentially be dangerous to her could she get cancer before she is even old enough for the vaccine or smear tests to detect a problem [ Disease ] i would suspect the accidental sharing of wash cloths or towels before i would ever suspect transmission in water if i were you i would look at the evidence the gynecologist provides in support of her theory
