You can't catch AIDS from a door knob. You need to share blood or semen.

You can NOT get aids by touching a doorknob, or any other item, for that matter.
AIDS can only be transferred through bodily fluids (yes, semen is one. As well as blood or vomit.) BUT, even if you TOUCHED his semen with your bare hands (very unlikely, in this situation), you would not get AIDS unless you had an open wound in your hand.
AIDS can be transferred by unprotected sexual contact (semen into your body cavity), or by an infected person's bodily fluid (semen, blood, etc) into an open wound.
You can NOT get AIDS from kissing someone with aids, unless you'd actually drink gallons of their spit (which no one would do anyway), or in the unlikely even that they're bleeding in their mouth (open sores, cuts, etc) AND you'd have a cut in your mouth at the same time.
You can NOT get aids from using the same toilet as a person with aids. You also can't get it from shaking hands/hugging a person with AIDS.
As to your question, don't worry-- you did not get aids from your encounter at the lab. You're much more likely to catch a cold or a flu, though!

I'm not an expert, but i don't think you have anything to worry about. I have never heard of aids being spread threw touch. And, i don't think they touched the semen themselves. Usually, it is spread through bodily surfaces, but it has to have an orifice to enter, like during intercourse, or recieving blood from someone infected. If by some small chance aids got on the handle, i don't think your skin would have been able to soak it up or anything. If you are still unsure, get tested and ask your doctor, but i don't think yo have anything to worry about.

If you had a cut on your hand then there would be something worry about.
HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.[2][3] This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Aids can only be spread from direct exchange of body fluid. You would have to have an open wound, scrape, cut or something and his infected body fluid would have to enter that area and you might contract HIV. I doubt that any of this took place. Nothing wrong with being careful though. Parinoid is another thing, I've been there.

Are U afraid of losing someone to that monster ?
DO U KNOW THAT more AWARENESS & KNOWLEDGE OF DISEASES and risks also may make U free from all Phobias
Dear Shireen,
Your curiosity and fear(phobia) has advantages & disadvantages for U.
First of all it is very much normal for U as your conscious/ sub consious mind alerts U frequently to fear about that diseases In fact which is really risk to life.
Other frens on this page what they advise u is also very sensible but U do need to apply your thoughts to wonder !
Why innocent Babies are Born with AIDS
Why a faithful Lifepartner(spouse) is infected for no mistake at all
Why some find it when they never ever remember some fault
No Doubt U need to be careful where U may come in contact or reuse a infected persons things like
1.
A needle/syringe, a razorblade etc carelessly left by a patient or someone and accidently used by others.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION :
(sources:check websites below)
1.CANCER is curable
2. Check website How it treated HIV (check below)
3.There are more than 90 therapies in the world which has practitioners/healers trying to heal patients.
4.We should be always thankful to every health related worker / researcher who strive for better health of the society
You May Please remember:
Some part of the treatment also invokes a patient mentally to stimulate inbuilt immune ability of a person which also helps to cure/recover 'cancer' patients more early & easily compared to negative thinking person.
But THERE is no REMEDY for 'DOUBT'ful attitude in a person
