Hi,
How are you? Hepatitis C transmission is only through exposure to infected blood. If you do not have any history of this type of hepatitis, then there is nothing to be worried about. Take care and best regards.

If you are hepatitis C negative, then you cannot give it to yourself by reusing your own needle.
