Blood to blood. Not blood to vaginal fluid, semen, saliva or anything else.

This was my only sex activity so far in my life and it lasted 1-2 minutes.If I am infected by hepatit c, I should be the most unlucky person.

The scenario you describe ,there is very little to no risk of contracting HCV.

Good luck on the follow up test and in the unlikely chance you test positive come on back for advice and support.

Thanks for dropping in...

a 1 day cut on finger. vaginal fluid may come into contact with this cut after
removing condom. also, i may contact my hand after removing condom with the penis. i do not know the person but she was an african sex worker. i am tested negative for hiv and hepatit b but for hepatit c, the values wrere inttermediate and hence they are doing another test.

It's VERY, VERY unlikely. If you're really worried about it wait 6 months and go get tested. If you are infected there's little you could do about it right now anyway. Live your life, don't worry be happy.
