Sharing bills, straws, etc is a possible means of transmission. It is more common then first thought. Wait a few months and get tested.

I'm not going to lecture you about drug use but if you are going to do drugs carry your own straw and don't let anyone use it!

best of luck

Actually, I 've read about it spreading that way, especially on plastic straws.
Not sure about bank notes but there's nothing dirtier than money.

Of course if you are HIGH, you could be doing a LOT of risky things.  Having blood on the end of a bill should be the least of your worries.
