No. It's impossible to get infected by using towels because the virus dies quickly outside of the body, it's nearly impossible to get the infection through contact with toilets, towels or other objects used by an infected person. But if someone in family is infected he needs treatment so that he couldn't spread it to others while involving in to oral sex or intercourse
