Last night I got cut underneath my fingernail and now its all bloody. I just used the bathroom and I dont know if that finger touched bathroom stall lock and opener( i live in a college dorm) if there happened to be HIV+ blood on there and it got into my cut, could I get HIV from that?

I don't think so. The chance of people having HIV is not high, and when combined with touching the same places you did and also having a cut to be able to pass on the virus on the exact same spot... Is extremely unlikely. Even if they did the virus is vulnerable outside the human body, exposed to only air.
Don't worry!
