Some guy scraped me with his nails. It didn't bleed at all. 40 mins later I washed my hands and used hand sanitizer on it. It didn't sting with hand sanitizer, but it did a little with hot water. 8 hours later, I touched a bleeding cut. I didn't see any visible blood on his nails, but they were super long and this guy gets bloody noses a lot. Can I get hep c any of this?

Usually nail scrap does not transmit any infection unless it dugs deep. If infection is present antibiotic is usually prescribed. Otherwise just clean it with soap and water and apply an antiseptic cream on it.
