any risk for hep c?

Good day to all,
I am new here, this is a great forum and website.
what brought me to ask this question is curiosity and a little bit of ignorance, i don't intend to offend anyone. thanks for the help.
I would like to know if there was any risk of Hep c in the following situation:

In the metro a young lady sitting next to me started snorting cocaine with a straw and using a tin box, i was shocked never seen this sad behaviour before, we stand up and i had to make my way out and we accidentally bumped into each others. i didn't notice anything but a small scratch after a while, so went on internet '' terrible mistake'' i become a bit paranoid! is there any risk for hep C or hiv, since i read the virus stays alive, and advise not to touch anything used for drugs etc.

thanks
Be well
