<s>[INST] I shower with my 6 year old daughter sometimes; it s just easier on busy morning. I have high risk hpv and after washing myself down there, I wash her afterwards. Any risk in transmission?? I m so worried, I can t even sleep. I no longer shower with her due to the fear. And will be forever cautious after being reminded about my results at a recent Pap smear. My pap is normal but hpv is detected. I was diagnosed in 2005 and had a leep done during that time. [/INST] Hello,Welcome to HCM,I had gone through your history and understand your concern.Genital human papilloma virus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI).There is no certain way to tell who will develop health problems from HPV and who will not. A person can still have HPV, even if years have passed since he has had sexual contact with an infected person. In your case also the man with whom you had sex, wiife of him has died of disease caused by HPV.HPV infections (90%) go away by themselves within two years. But, sometimes, HPV infections will persist and can cause a variety of serious health problems liike Genital warts Cervical cancer and genital cancer.Thank you. </s>
