Hpv infected
I have been with my bf for a month and i just found out that i have genital warts im sure i got this from my previous relationship.
Doctor said i will be cure in few months i got treatment and medicine which can increase my immune system to kill the virus itself.
Doctor also said i cant have sex till i cure 100%.
My question is after i cure is it safe to have sex with my bf without condom?
Is he infected by hpv? Or what should we do?

There is no way for you to have sex without a risk of you being infected by HPV again.
Since you don't know if your current boyfriend is infected, and there is no reliable test for men for HPV, you've got to assume he did get infected with HPV. I've never read anything about the male body being better at defeating HPV (and frankly, that sounds like total BS to me. That just doesn't seem consistent with the way the virus operates. It's probably just a mistaken idea people get because men are less likely to present the symptoms of most forms of HPV even when they do have it.)
The safest way to avoid contracting HPV again, (besides never have sex again in your life... nearly 80% of sexually active woman contract HPV at some point in their lives.) is to use condoms after you are cured. Condoms do not 100% defend against HPV, but they do provide some protection.
The existence of HPV is a good argument to always use condoms. Wart causing HPV aren't going to kill you. The strains of HPV that cause warts, are not the strains linked to cancer. But it is a nuisance and an embarrassment. Better to take reasonable precautions and use condoms.
