Welcome to XXXXXXX
The thing that poked was on bus door and it was open to air and sunlight so if we assume that it was infected even then chances of HIV are nil.
HIV spread occur by contaminated needles or medical items, unprotected sexual intercourse with infected person or from infected mother to child. The risk of spread is very low in your case because there are practically nil chances that object was infected, also you didn't get blood from injury.
So as per my opinion there is no risk in your case. Please provide me a little detail about the object, whether there was risk of contamination or not.
Thanks
