Hep B exposure?

Hi. I am concerned that I may have contracted Hep B or C from someone who sat naked on my lap. I was wearing jeans. The next day, I dropped food on or near that spot on my pants and absent mindedly put the food in my mouth. I do have a small ulcer. Is this a risk for getting Hep B or C? Thank you.

Hep c transmission requires hepatitis c infected blood to enter the blood stream of an uninfected person.

What you described is not a risk of infection.

I should also add that I didn't see any blood from the other person's rear end, though I know blood doesn't have to show for Hep B or C to be present.
