No, zero risk. You will never get HIV except by sex. However, assuming that at your age you have been sexually active, you can assume you already have been infected. Over 90% of all people acquire HPV (often several times), even if they have had only a few sex partners. If at sexual risk, look into HPV vaccination. Regardless of risk, follow standard Pap smear guidelines. Otherwise no worries.

HPV virus is not transmitted by bodily fluids. Only skin to skin contact from anal, oral, and vaginal sex. HIV is transmitted also this way, a blood to blood contact.
