Hep c requires blood to blood contact for transmission. As far as I know huffing poppers would not have you doing something like sticking the container in your nose like you would in snorting cocaine. Do you suspect his blood may have entered your blood stream?

If there we'd no blood transfer then this was zero risk.

You said he possibly had hep c. If he treated and was cured of hep c he doesn't have hep c so to transmit so nothing to catch
