A sex worker licked my anus. Can I get Hep C from saliva/blood mix?

I had an encounter where a sex worker spit on and licked my anus for a while. Can I get Hep C if there was a little blood mixed in with her saliva?

Very, very, very, low to non existent risk

This is not something I would worry about. It is an extremely unlikely transmission route.

If there were cuts on your anus, and she had blood mixed in her saliva, then yes, you could be at risk.
