Can you have them even if you don't have HIV? Are there other things in the oral cavity that aren't warts but may resemble them?

The oral cavity and oropharynx assist with breathing, talking, eating, chewing, and swallowing. Minor salivary glands located throughout the oral cavity and oropharynx make saliva that keeps the mouth moist and helps digest food.
The oral cavity and oropharynx contain several types of tissue and each of these tissues contains several types of cells. Different cancers can develop from each kind of cell. The differences are important, because they influence the patient's treatment options and prognosis

Please see the webpages for more details on Herpes labialis (Oral herpes simplex)
A common infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 or type 1. Type 1 is commonly acquired through oral sex, while type 2 is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Symptoms include small blisters in the genital area which rapidly break down to leave painful ulcers. Other symptoms include pain or difficulty in passing urine. Some patients may develop headache and fever. Herpes infection during late pregnancy is potentially dangerous to the baby during labour. Herpes is a life-long chronic condition which cannot be cured. However, there are antiviral drugs available which can reduce the severity of symptoms.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure warts can be spread to any part of the body, though they usually appear on the feet, hands, and genital regions. Genital warts (if that is what you are referring to) are a type of HPV (Human Papillomavirus) that can be transferred through sex. If you think you have HPV I strongly recommend you see your gynecologist.
