Genital warts scare

Ok, so i invitded family friends on vaca w us. Im 25 married and have 5 kids. She brought her husband and daughter w her. Midway thru she confessed she had genital warts. Im almost positive she used our soap in the shower, my daughter and her daughter took a bath together and im not sure if at one pount or another any of us used the towels that they did. Also she shared food w my kids and gave me her leftovers after dinner one night. Not to mention we shared the same bathroom and u have no idea if she washes her hands all the time. So needless to say my vaca has turned into a nightmare just having all these thoughts race thru my mind. Should i b worried for my family or am i just too paranoid? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

no problem. if catching HPV or  any other STD was as easy as that, then everyone would have it =P. they are called Sexually Transmitted for a reason.

Honestly, in my opinion you have nothing at all to worry about. HPV is the virus that causes genital warts. it is usually transferred through sexual contact. It can not survive very long at all outside the body, especially on items such as soap. it is not IMPOSSIBLE but VERY unlikely. you have nothing to worry about and no need whatsoever to get any sort of testing at all.
