Possible HPV uvula?

So roughly 7 months ago I had intercourse and performed oral sex on a girl.  I never had any warts on my penis, but within the last week i noticed what appears to be a small, flesh colored bump on the side of my uvula.  

The strange thing is, it isn't fixed there- it acts more like a flap of skin in that if I breathe heavily, it wraps around the front of my uvula so that its nearly impossible to see- there appears to be no bump.  Other times, right after I swallow, the flap of skin again hangs off the side of my uvula and is more visible, but is still small.

Could this be a wart? From what I've read online, oral warts are extremely uncommon unless you have a weak immune system, and given the 7 month span of time in between the oral sex and this bump appearing, it seems unlikely that they are related, but I'm just not sure.  

Input is much appreciated! thanks

If you look thru my photos you'll see what my oral papilloma looked like before cutting it off with a cauterizing knife. Very simple procedure in my ENT Dr.'s office. Not as rare as some of the people here will tell you.

Hrm...Well let me just give you my own experiences.  Not to be unnecessarily graphic, but the widest part of my penis is at the base. So, it would make sense that there would be more friction there, right? I have no warts at the head or under the foreskin. This virus needs to be worked in. It is possible that one touch can do the trick, BUT very unlikely inside the mouth because the mouth is too acidic for the virus to grow. And unless you were trained by a pro in oral sex and somehow know how to use your uvula to penetrate, i think you have nothing to worry about. Just be careful, man.
