Confusion over my results

[mrcurious88]

I had a panel of tests done to test for hepatitis A,B and C after 14 weeks post exposure to a woman of unknown status. the tests were done by LabCorp and were as follows:

HBsAG screen: Negative

Hep A Ab, IgM: Negative

Hep B Core Ab, IgM: Negative

Hep C Virus Ab: <0.1

I have been reading about when these tests would be considered conclusive and seems to be a lot of debate as to a conclusive window period. Some say 12 weeks is conclusive, some say 6 months and some say 9 months. Like I said my tests were done at 14 weeks post exposure or exactly 102 days. Are my tests conclusive or do I need further testing?

According to the HepB foundation "HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) is the first serologic marker to appear in a new acute infection, which can be detected as early as 1 week and as late as 9 weeks, with an average of one month after exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV)."
Regarding the HepC, you may ask in the hepC community.
