how does virus infect through urethra

For informational purposes, if the HIV virus has to reach the bloodstream to infect, then how does that happen if it enters the peehole, because the peehole doesnt necessarily have cuts or wounds inside that allow it to enter the blood stream. So what actually happens?

Thank you

Attaches to mucas membranes. Try google you will find a lit of sites with info like this there.

the mechanism of infection is through the mucous membrane at 2 places..

1 at the inner part of the foreskin(if you are uncircumcised)
2 at the mucous membrane lining the urethra

Interesting, I didnt know, So that means once it attaches (ie sticks) to the mucus membranes it survives there? and how is it passed fom there to the blood stream from there? that´s what I dont get exactly understand

Thanks

it gets to it from penetrating the mucous membrane

i asked something similar before to dr.hhh and on here...

if someone accidentally got cum on your urethral opening, wouldn't that be a risk? dr.hhh and others said no to me...which I think is strange and concerning.

the virus gets inactivated shortly after exposure to air..thats why DrHHH said that as mutual masturbation is not a risk..
