hep c contracted by sharing rolled up bill for snorting cocaine?

i attended a friends party over 2 weeks ago and did something really stupid.i snorted coke with 2 of her friends sharing a rolled up bill/banknote.i only did a few lines but now im terrified i may have contracted hep c through such a stupid,drunken incident.also not sure if this would make a difference but i only placed the bill at my nostril not inside .there was no visible blood as well. i just want to know my potential risk or no risk in this situation.im very scared and will test if need be but please can anyone ease my mind until then?

I looked at your profile earlier today.
You've posted anxiety posts here and on the HIV  forums for months.

Your problem is anxiety.

Now, please, go deal with your true problem and leave us alone.
You don't have to go away mad, just go away.
