STD’s and/or HIV transmission is not possible by touching inanimate objects, doorknobs. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding STD/HIV transmission.

Chances of getting any of these in this scenario are near0-for overwhelmingly none of these conditions is acquired that way. That said- nothing is 100% in medicine or life.. We all go by some chances. Suggest not to worry.
