At my recent annual physical my doctor mentioned hepatitis c was
appearing in my age group and asked if I'd ever had a transfusion, had
been exposed to blood, or had been a caregiver. She didn't memtion the Jets.

I'm in that age group. I'm scheduled for a full blood work up as part of my annual physical,
including Hep C.
Indirectly, your doctor did include the Jet Injector: "Have you ever been exposed to blood?"
Read the "Concerns" section at the link below. Fluid Suck-Back and Retrograde Flow both
mention contamination by blood.
