Hepatits worries

Hi i recently went to clinic for blood test and dr pricked my finger with lancet to take blood sample. While going out of dr cabin i forgot to take cotton to press on my bleeding finger and went outside. While sitting on hospital bench i pressed my finger on bench and realized later that its still bleeding.is there any risk of hepatitis considering there might be dried blood on bench since it was of black color im not sure.
