Is It Safe To Have Oral Sex While Having HPV?

I'm 19 years old, I'm approx. 5'2 and i weight about 130 and I'm a female. My doctored informed me that I have 4 types of HPV. But she wouldn't tell me anything else so I come to you for help. Is it safe for me to have sex with my boyfriend and him not catch it? And also is it safe to have oral like if he licks me down there and kisses me could be both get it in the mouth? I'm so very confused and my doctor is no help at all. Please help if you can.
