My honest answer would be you have slim to none chance of contracting the Hep C virus. You have to look at at it logically. This is a blood to blood contact.
Just to give you an example of how hard this is to contract, I was married for 20 years, had 2 children, and didn't know I had the virus. No one in my family has it even during childbirth.
If your overly concerned get tested. They now have a cure.
In my humble opinion think you have a better chance of getting a disease just stepping foot in a hospital. Would not worry if I were you.
Good luck

so should i get tested or just forget about it?
did you consider both the cases?
Hi and yes I did consider both scenarios. I can't tell you to forget getting tested as that should be your choice. What I will say if it were me, I would not be concerned at all. Zero!
Should you be worried then I would advise you to get tested. The following 2 cases that you represented, would not be risk factors for acquiring the virus.
Many people ask these same questions you've expressed on a daily basis so I do understand. If I felt you were in danger I would tell you.
You tho are the one that has to live with your decisions so it may help to ease your mind getting tested. Do believe its a good thing to be aware of putting yourself at risk in all situations in life.
Be well

BTW. Hopefully others will offer their thoughts.
