Yes: You are more likely to be shedding virus (contagious) when you have active warts. They are a marker for infection. However, even if they are removed with treatment or clear naturally you may shed virus intermittently. Condoms can help avoid transfer of the virus but do not protect surfaces not covered by th condom.
