Hep-B result confusion.....

One of my friend had done his Hepatitis test and the results came as follows:

HBsAg - Negative
Anti-HBs - Negative
Anti-HBe - Positive
HBeAg - Negative
Anti-HBc - Positive

What does this mean? does he have Hep-B? He has to submit these results for his company recruitment and he is worried now. Any suggestions would be very thankful.
