Transmission through urine?

This is somewhat embarrasing to ask. My husband (poz) and I (neg) are very carefull with things like blood, cuts, sex, and other ways so I don't get it.
My question is when I clean the bathroom and the toilet, even though I wear gloves and wash my hands well, should I worry about being as carefull around his urine as I am around his blood?
Does urine fall in the category of seman, breast milk, blood and vaginal fluids?

Urine is not considered infectious. HIV has been found in urine, but it's not concentrated enough to be a concern for tranmission.
Also, remember that HIV is a fragile virus and does not survive long outside it's environment....the body.
