The mental toll this has taken on me(and possibly you too)

Same for me. I usually share everything with my nephew and when I tell him he can’t he gets this sad look in his face. Like I don’t want to share. But I just want to protect him. He just recently got little tiny warts in the side of his rib cage and I’ve been beating myself over it. I feel like it’s my fault. When I google warts on kids it’s says it’s hpv related. I went in a little pool with him once in the summer in the back of our house and I wonder if that’s how he got it. I don’t have any warts but it I feel like I could be the cause. I’ve kissed him in his tummy before and wonder if maybe I have hpv in my stomach and my lips might of caused it. Again I only got diagnosed with a Pap smear but how can I know if I have it in my mouth and if it’s transmittable. This is torture. It’s bad enough to live with it. But to think you could pass it off to someone is the absolute worst.
