If you stated your pills on day one or two of your cycle, you are covered from the start. If you start your pills later into your cycle, you are covered after taking 7 pills - in 7 days. So one week, as long as you don't miss any pills.

Remember nothing is 100%, so using condoms along with The Pill is still a good idea and will also protect you from catching an STD.

Would my boy friend have to use a condom ever if i took the birth control pill perfectly?

Even if you take the birth control pill perfectly, there's a chance you could get pregnant. Of 1000 couples using the birth control pill perfectly for a year, three will get pregnant. If you can accept that risk, and aren't at risk of infection, then you don't need condoms. Make sure you and your partner have discussed and agreed on your course of action if you did get pregnant before you decide to stop using condoms.
