The Downside of Going Down

Your link addresses catching HPV from inanimate sources outside - I'm saying that if the mother had it, she can probably pass it to her children when they are born.

The likelihood of passing along cancer causing HPV strains is surprisingly low for some reason.

Can HPV affect my pregnancy?
HPV is unlikely to affect your pregnancy or your baby's health. If you have genital warts, they may grow faster during pregnancy, possibly from the extra vaginal discharge that provides the virus with a moist growing environment, hormonal changes, or changes in your immune system. In most cases the warts won't pose any problems for you or your baby.

It's possible for you to pass the virus to your baby, but this doesn't happen very often. Even if your child does contract HPV, he's likely to overcome it on his own without any symptoms or problems.

In the unlikely event that your child gets the type of HPV that causes genital warts, he may develop warts on his vocal cords and other areas sometime in infancy or childhood. This condition, called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, is very serious, but fortunately it's also rare.

The cancer causing types of HPV are from genital contact. The chance that you will contract cancer from HPV without sexual contact is almost nonexistent. It's like being afraid that you will die from ghost attack.
