When you have the Bazuka gel on your partner can still contract the wart from touching the area.
The Bazuka gel solution will probably make you shed excess skin on the area but don't worry about it. It won't be a problem unless the area looks red, inflamed, irritated or is painful.
The wart is gone after the wart goes away. There will be no more "lump" on that area of the skin. The skin will be fully healed. You will still actually have the HPV strain that caused the wart so you can still pass it along but the risks are much less after the the wart has disappeared.
Keep using the solution. When the bump goes completely away and the skin heals up to look normal again then that's that. You might get other warts because of the strain you've contracted on your hands but it isn't a big deal. Simply use the solution again as soon as you notice it to keep the problem down.
Warts are actually caused by various strains of HPV. HPV can be spread through short contact on an infected area. Make sure to keep your hands clean and avoid coming in contact with others until you get this cleared up completely.
Your boyfriend is right to not want to contract the wart. It isn't deadly or painful in most cases but is pretty unsightly. There's no reason to risk passing it on because it just becomes a chain reaction and, before you know it, lots of your friends have warts, too!
I hate to break it to you, but the Bazuka can take months to get rid of the wart. HPV strains are not easily combated and the warts that they produce are pretty strong, living on your own immune system for survival. Keep the wart covered up to reduce the risk of spreading this. Keep a bandaid on it or a small wrap. Let it breathe (sleep without a bandage) at nights when you won't be touching anyone though.
So, basically:
Yes, you are still contagious even though you have a cream on it. The cream do not neutralize the HPV strain that caused the wart.
Yes, the skin will probably peel off some, too. It shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't look painful or feel painful.
The wart is gone when it is gone and not visible to the naked eye. You still will probably have the strain of HPV that you contracted through various ways (hand warts are fairly common) so you might experience a wart or two some time in the future.
For note, strains of HPV usually are specific to an area. Touching your foot with a warty hand probably won't give you warty feet. Touching your warty hand to your genitals probably won't give you a warty vagina. You should still wash your hands plenty though, keep the area covered, avoid other people coming in contact with your wart, and keep treatment on it until it's gone away. While you probably won't give your boyfriend penis warts--who wants warts on their hands, right? Be respectful and don't pass it along if you can :)

Well, if the bazuka is on then the wart wont be able to touch ur boyfriends, therefore not letting him get the disease. He shouldnt be scared to touch you, but if hes timid like that, just understand that hes only trying to stay wart free.
I suggest getting rid of the warts quickly and easily, so the nneither of you have to worry anymore.

I'm not sure what bazuka is...
But I do know that warts are caused by a virus within your body. Warts can be spread from one person to another by direct contact or touching something a person with warts has previously touched. Transfer is more likely if someone has cuts or openings in the skin, but transfer may never happen.
Check with your doctor about what kinds of warts you have and how best to remove them. Removed warts may also come back... same place or different places. I had a couple on my hands and fingers, and after several tries at removing, I ended up one the bottom of my toe, and much less bothersome place to have one, so I just let it stay there.
