I used a boric acid suppository yesterday morning at 8 am for bv. we had sex at 10pm. is boric acid harmful to him?

Abstain from sex: Boric acid is a very caustic substance and could cause burns of the penis if it came into contact with the penis. It would be advisable that you abstain from sexual intercourse completely while using boric acid.
