Thanks! Let me say, I had no idea she it was that time of the month until I saw blood on the condom when we finished so Im assuming I got blood in my mouth. Also, I found out after the fact she was Hep C+... Had I known I would have never got involved....

I'd say unless you had open sores in your mouth the chances are nil.  Even with open sores pretty slight.  If you know she has Hep C and you had sores, get a test. But again, very slim likelihood even if worse case scenario.
