I Need Advice From Any Nurses Or Doctors Out There?

My dad has hepatits C. I was carrying in a plastic bag for him, and he blood glucose meter was in there. He had left in a used test strip. It poked through the plastic bag and scraped my leg (I was wearing shorts). I immediately doused it with alcohol. What else should I do? Do you think I am infected now? I’m pretty sure it broke through the skin slightly because I have a scratch line visible.
