Doing all he can to boost his immune system is the priority. Smoking has been shown to increase HPV persistence so quitting would be of benefit if possible. Use of condoms despite your monogomous relationship so his viral load is not increased by being exposed to your infection. Visual inspection for signs of any genital warts is also recommended as there is no commercial test available for men at this point. You should also both get the vaccine. Gardasil protects against two high risk and two low risk strains while cervarix only protects against the two high risk strains.
