Hep C risk

Published

I work in an outpatient clinic. I recently was cleaning a room after a Hep C postitive patient. I accidentally touched a used piece of equipment that could have possibly have had his blood on it (without gloves). It wasnt a needle, but when its used, it could possibly contain blood. I didnt see any blood, but immediately washed my hands. I didnt have any deep cuts or anything and the object wasnt sharp or a needle. Should I get tested for hep c/ hiv? Thanks!
