HIV Transmission - Through Mucous membrane?

I have heard that HIV transmission can happen through body's mucousmembrane also

Can somebody tell me what is this mucous membrane

Just as skin lines and protects the outside of the body, mucous membranes line and protect the inside of your body. You can find mucous membranes inside of your nose, mouth, lungs, and many other parts of the body. Mucous membranes make mucus, which keeps them moist.
an epithelial tissue that secretes mucus and that lines many body cavities and tubular organs including the gut and respiratory passages.
and u can only get HIV from having sex and some other things. u cannot get it by sharing water and kissing and stuff

a mucousal membrane is any type of mucousal substance secreted by your body. even snot. but it cant infect you unless it goes directly into the bloodstream.
