No: risk for getting hepatitis C infection from what you described is non-existent.

No risk: Hepatitis C is only transmitted by direct blood contact with your own bloodstream. It is never passed by contact in the envinronment, whether with toilet seats, shared cups and glasses, dishware, etc. Also not sexually transmitted in heterosexual men and women. All you need to avoid hepatitis C is to not share drug injection equipment with anyone. Otherwise no worries!
