You aren't alone: According to the CDC, 79 million Americans are infected with HPV--well over a fifth of the population so don't feel like an outcast. You can transmit this to him. Men can develop oral, anal and penile cancer from this disease. The biggest risk is multiple reinfections but unless you two are marrying, I advise condoms to prevent transmission. Better safe than sorry until you know your relationship.
