Ifs and buts: If you are positive for HCV and had an active, bleeding wound on your finger at the time you fingered your girlfriend transmission of HCV becomes possible, otherwise unlikely in above scenario.

Depends: Do you have acted hepatitis C? How long did you wash your hands with soap and water? If you washed your hands for 20 seconds or more then I’m sure you’re fine but if there’s any doubt, I would definitely have her get a blood test in a few weeks
