Not necessarily: Warts are contagious and there is a risk of getting the warts from the experience you described. Please note that available HPV vaccine protects against cancer causing HPV and also protects against gential warts. I would urge you to get vaccinated. Practice safe sex.

Doubt HPV, low risk: It is rare to have warts on or near the mouth. And although oral HPV infections can occur, usually with no symptoms, oral exposure doesn't often transmit HPV. In the unlikely chance your kissing partner had HPV, with or without warts, you probably wouldn't catch it; and if you did, you wouldn't get any symptoms. This isn't something to be worried about.
