Hello
Your friend stabbed a needle in his hand and then stabbed same needle in your hand .
Your friend was having HIV infection ( a suspect case ) .
You bolted the door with hand and touched your penis with same hand , no chance of getting HIV infection by this rout.
The stabbing by the needle is a cause of concern in your case .
If your friend was HIV infected then there is a chance of getting HIV infection by you is very high.
The use of same needle in many patient spread HIV infection and this is documented proof in various countries including in India ( by quacks by same needle ) .
In my opinion consult an HIV clinic and get their opinion.
Good luck.
