Clorox up the urethra? A REALLY bad idea.
OK. Admittedly, bacteria can get into the proximal urethra from any number of activities. Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are especially good at this. HIV, much less so.
Chlorine is a potent biocide and is therefore a dangerous chemical. It is also a carcinogen, and lethal to mammalian cells exposed to it. Sure, it will kill bacteria, and some (but not all) viruses. The mucous membrane which lines the urethra is, in itself, a great barrier against most infections. But if damaged by chlorine, the epithelial cells which line it can be killed, and its protective qualities compromised.
Frankly, even tho I too do not trust the government to protect us against corporations and the toxins they expose us to, the CDC is the best we have in terms of protection from STDs. Follow their guidelines until you get solid evidence not to.
One way to flush the urethra is the take a good long piss immediately after sexual activity. True, it is hardly 100% effective, but it is a method easy and relatively effective. Be very cautious about inserting or injecting anything up the urethra...

AIDS-Preventing Sexual Hygiene:
[url]http://safest-sex.desert.net/safest-sex/index.html[/url]
"safer sex should be treated as sexual hygiene."
"complementing condom use by gargling, douching, and washing after sex, employing vinegar or other mild disinfectants that kill HIV. In a pinch, apply soap and water to intimate fluids that might carry germs. Equate AIDS-prevention with cleanliness."
"the advice about after-intercourse hygiene delivered most authoritatively in The Guide to Living with HIV Infection, by John G. Bartlett and Ann K. Finkbeiner, medical professionals associated with the well-regarded AIDS Clinic at Johns Hopkins University. Their own guidebook puts it this way: "Anyone who makes a mistake and has unprotected sex should use a vinegar douche as quickly as possible."
"Should a condom not be used during sexual intercourse. Or should one break or leak. Douching with a solution of vinegar and water can lessen risk or harm by reducing the amount of HIV left on penetrable skin-linings and susceptible cells. Using soap and water, vinegar, or some other mild disinfectant to wash a penis after intercourse can help keep HIV from reaching blood through any warts, sores, or skin breaks on it. Gargling with an HIV-killing disinfectant after oral sex can help prevent infection via the mouth."
