fluids

if inffected fluids come in contact with the penis "head", do they need to enter the urethra or can they be absorbed by the mucous membranes and cause infecttion. can we say the vaginal fluids are 50 % less likely to infect than blood?

Yes, blood is more infectious, but it's harder to infect someone unless you are an IV drug abuser and share works.
