Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that as you got tested for Hepatitis C at 3 and 4 month which is negative, and so there is no point of worry to you. Its good you have washed the hand and bad you have press the finger to wipe the blood.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
