Welcome to e health forum.

Hepatitis C is not acquired by snorting cocaine. It is acquired when you inject the drug into your vein, while sharing a needle or syringe with a infected individual.

You should consult with your doctor or a STD and drug abuse clinic , so as to undergo proper counselling, to avoid repeating such episodes in the future.
