Soap will not create an infection as it fights the most common infections. Nothing specific will happen if some soap gets in the anal canal. However would suggest being gentle in scrubbing genital/anal area as that can definitely irritate the area and cause inflammation.

What you described is not likely to have ill-effect on your health. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
