Semen and Urethra

Is it possible to contract HIV if some fresh semen enters the hole at the tip of the penis or the urethra? And the urethra may has abrasions on it.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
