The question has been answered. I think you may want to seek help for mental obsessive disorder.

By the way there are no doctors or experts here. Just regualr people that have experience living with HCV or treating it. We can only offer our "opinions". For definitive answers make an appointment with a specialist.

No possibility of Hepatitis C transmission from what you describe. Transmission can only occur with "blood to blood" contact.
