No, there is no chance don’t worry it’s paranoia okay and it’s something that people with Health usually have they will keep thinking about a certain thing. Even if it’s a small thing they’ll make it big in their head. So basically some kind of counselling and therapy will help you understand this and to avoid in future. These kind of situation which makes you go crazy so you can contact with me for the same. Let’s talk in detail. All the best

Nothing to worry about, hepatitis A is transmitted by faeco-oral route, hepatitis B and C by exposure to infected serum, most common source is blood exposure of an infected person.
In your case unlikely any exposure mentioned above.
Next Steps
If needed you can get urself tested for Hepatitis A B and C.
Health Tips
When anxious, give urself a scientific explanation and be rest assured that u aren’t exposed to any infected material for any sort of infection to occur.

Be More Physically active - It will help you build trust on your body and fear less about getting ill.
Meditate with chanting- I meditated every day for 2 months. I used affirmations like âI'm fit both physically and mentally.â Telling such things to your subconscious mind will help you come out of the vicious cycle of Anxiety.
Walk, run or workout - Just 20 minutes of work every day can make a huge difference. Running or working out are good options if you can go a little further. No one feels bad to see themselves in a good body shape.
4. Practice Gratitude- Be thankful for every single breath you're allowed to take. Life is the most underrated gift humans have will ever known exist. Be thankful for being alive, a lot of people are just counting days to die. Visit a caner center or a hospital where severely injured people are treated. Seeing people suffering so much will give you new perspective to life.
5. Write - Try to scribble your biggest fears in a notebook. Make two columns one should read âmy fearsâ, the other one â Realitiesâ. Write about your fear and the reality part of your fear. You will gradually start understanding how irrational your fears are.

Most likely you wouldn't have acquired as these viruses are fragile to sustain in air. Next time onwards do not use razor in barber shop. Ask him to use only hair trimming machine. Good luck

Highly unlikely as viruses do not survive in air. If you are too anxious, you can consult for proper clarification and if required you can take some anti-anxiety pills for a few days to help with your exams (only if required).
