New partner and genital warts

I caught genital warts a few years ago and keep getting flare ups every now and then. It's not usually a problem as I get them frozen off; however I'm having a flare up at the moment but the GU clinic won't offer the freeze treatment because of covid. They've given me a cream to use instead, which I've been applying for a month and it is doing absolutely nothing! The clinic say it can take up to 4 months! I've recently started dating someone new and it's getting to the point where we are ready to have sex but I have to keep putting him off. I don't know what to do - there's only so many times I can be on my period! Should I tell him and hope he doesn't think any less of me? Has anyone else used the cream before (Aldara) and if so how long did it take to work for you?

Note also that the law applies to sexual infections that are "serious and life threatening" and genital warts I'm afraid, is not.

You're not going to catch the deadly form of HPV whilst wearing a condom.

The form of HPV that causes cervical cancer also does not cause genital warts.

Wrong. You can catch HPV (any type) even with a condom because a condom does not cover all the skin around the genitals.
