HBsAg negative after 5 years from last exposure

I had unprotected vaginal sex with a CSW almost 5 years ago. I tested for hepatitis B yesterday.
The test was
Australia antigen (HBsAg) Negative.
1)Am I safe from hepatitis B?
2)Do I need further testing??
3)If yes what test should I take? ?

I read somewhere that it's about 6 months but most of the people will have it detected around 3 months.

Thanks flyinsky. .  
So you mean I am not infected.
Or may be I was infected but cleared the virus from my body..  So I should not worry about hepatitis B now.

Am I right. .??
