While at the gym, changing weight levels on a machine, a keychain with a sharp edge poked my finger and i bled a small amount. am i at risk for hep?!?

Hepatitis: Your risk is infinitesimal, meaning almost zero. Nothing to worry about. If you have not had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years I would get that just because it's time, not even because you are at risk for tetanus either. And while we are at it you are at no risk for any other disease known to man or beast.
