HPV isvirus like other virus with a peculiarity to give a chronic infection and prospective carcinogenic property. The proble you are having may be a simple mucus retention cyst or minor salivary gland tumour although chance of papilloma cannot be ruled out. In any case its better to excise the mass and undergo Biopsy to get a confirmation and treat accordingly.
