Most HPV infections do not present any symptoms. When HPV does present symptoms, however, they can be very serious. HPV can cause abnormal PAP smears, certain types of cervical cancer, and genital warts. HPV is transmitted by any skin to skin contact, so you may have been exposed if you have had any genital to genital contact, even protected sex.
