Brief Answer:
Please don't worry!

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in"Ask a Doctor".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on your history, just touching the scar ( not direct contact with blood)after 4 days of incident I think you shouldn't worry because there exist a little to no risk to get hep C in this situation.
You cannot get hep C from eating with the hand after touching the scar but from sexual intercourse and direct blood to blood contact.

Hope I have answered your query.
Feel free to ask me further.
