I just recently found out that I have genital warts and I am freaking out. I have a lot of questions but here are the important ones. Im worried about passing it on because I watch my niece during the day and I change her diapers, is it possible to pass it to her that way? I make sure i wash my hands a lot. Also, if I take a bath and then my sister takes a bath or my niece or anyone, can they get it from the bathtub too?!? Im afraid to touch anything now for fear of passing it on. can anyone help?

No your niece will be absolutely fine. Make sure you put your towels straight in the washing machine after use (so no one else dries with them)
Get treatment from your local GUM clinic and you'll be fine

You can only pass it on by intimate contact. If you're touching the warts, then touch someone else, I guess theoretically the virus could be spread, but highly unlikely.
You need to inform any future sex partner ever about this. Condoms help, but are not foolproof.
It's much worse for women, as some strains are associated with cervical cancer. You need regular pap smears.

Warts are a skin infection caused by HPV viruses .Usually they disappear after a few months.Salicylic acid is used to remove warts by either applying an adhesive pad soaked in salicylic acid or directly applying the salicylic acid solution to the affected area.More details and remedies at the link below.
