HIV in the urethra

I just wanted to ask briefly if anyone knew about how HIV is contracted through the urethra. Does the virus just have to pass just beyond the hole for successful transmission to occur, does it have to travel down at all to be successful, can ejaculation or urination directly after somehow push the virus out? Thank you for any comments
