Honestly, I take the pill and my boyfriend and I do not use condoms and we are both perfectly comfortable with that and we have never had any problems - I take it every night at exactly the same time and never forget. That being said, we have been together for more than 3 years and get tested for STIs annually. Since you guys haven't been together long and you don't know his complete sexual history, I would strongly recommend that you stick with condoms and the pill together.
