You do not become radioactive with a CT scan, with or without a contrast. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

No. Although you received some radiation during the exam, it should not be enough to be harmful to you. Also you are not "radioactive", meaning you are not giving off radiation that would affect others.
