Brief Answer:
No risk of contracting Hep C, Hep B, VDRL or HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

There is no risk of contracting HIV or any other STDs in the exposure you had mentioned so you need not to take worry at all about any thing because you are absolutely safe. Just calm down, allay the fear or anxiety and live your life normally. If any other query is there feel free to ask me again.

Thank You
