Few questions about genital warts/hpv and immune system

I have one of the wart causing strains of HPV and had the warts removed yesterday at a dermatologist. I first noticed my warts in April. Please answer all questions. Thanks.

1. HPV supposedly lasts a lifetime, but when/if my immune system successfully manages
to fight it off, will I still be able to pass it on to someone?

2. I had my warts removed at the dermatologist yesterday. At this point, when will it, or will it ever be safe to
receive unprotected oral and/or have unprotected sex with a girl even if she is the only person id be engaging in sexual activity with?

3, The warts were on the base of the shaft. If unprotected oral still would be unsafe, will the chances of passing on hpv diminish if her mouth doesnt make contact with that area? And what would happen if she were to swallow my semen?

3. After having my warts removed at the dermatologist, theres now a red mark where my warts used to sit, on the base of the shaft.   Looks like a wound. When it clears up, will that area look the same it did prior to getting the warts, or will it always be noticable that i once had them?

4. If the answer to question #3 is yes, which method of wart removal leaves no traces at all? Im not sure of the name
of the treatment my dermatologist used, but he first injected a shot where the warts were and used a device with electricity coming out of it and there was a burning smell.
