glasses fell in garbage

glasses fell in garbage

I was working today in a community health dental clinic where many high risk patients are treated. As I took my mask off it grabbed my glasses and took them into the garbage with the mask. the garbage potentially has gloves with blood, gauze with blood, etc. I quickly washed my glasses with a chlorhexidine hand soap then wiped them with anti-microbial wipes. After so I put them back on immediatly since i was in the middle of the procedure. Should I be worried about contracting hiv or hep c from such an incident? Logically i know the chances are low but i got myself a little worked up. Thanks for any help.
