No, skin tags are usually caused by friction. Hpv causes warts usually in the vagina, penis, mouth, or genital region. The warts and lesions are very distinct they are usually cauliflower like. Don't worry about a skin tag. If you are not being safe and using protection it would not be a bad idea to get tested.
Actually, skin tags are nothing more than out of control skin cell growth. Cut them off and there is a chance that they will grow back.

More input from FAQ Farmers:
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that is cause by Human Papilloma Virus. There are approx. 60 different stains of this virus, 5 of those have been implicated in causing Cervical cancer. There is no evidence the virus is transmitted any way other than sexual contact. Skin tags are benign lesions found on the skin, most commomly in the arm pit, groin, and neck, and have no relationship to HPV. There may be a hereditary tendency to develop these lesions which are usually asymptomatic, however they can be irritated by rubbing on clothing and need removal.

Can any plants carry the virus that causes warts or what can you get them from?
No plant produces Human Papilloma Virus, the virus that causes warts. It is produced by and affects people only. HPV is usually transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact. However, you can also contract HPV via dead skin cells. So theoretically, you can contract HPV by touching a plant (or more likely a towel) that a person with warts has used. This contact with the object by the person with warts must be pretty recent, however; because once skin cells die and are deposited in the environment the process of bio-degradation begins to take place. So once the viral DNA (found in the skin cells deposited on, say for example, a towel or plant) is destroyed by light or bacteria, it most likely will no longer cause disease.
