Hepatitis C: Is different than Hepatitis B. Usually not spread through body fluids. Hepatitis C is more likely to be contracted through blood to blood contact. In terms of using your own denture cream if you have hepatitis C, it is safe.

Should be no problem: no contraindications, just clean it out every day. Good rule for everyone

It is safe: However, denture cream or powder is not the solution for ill-fitting dentures. The visit to a prosthodontist or denturist is recommended.
