Hep B vaccine..

i was sexually active in 2000 with my first girlfriend and we engaged in unprotected sex for 1 year...after that there were no sex partners but in 2003 i fingered another girlfriend i had and noticed a cut on my finger at the time...i got tested for HIV that year and was negative....and i just got tested recently for hep b...and everything was negative and it showed i had surface antibodies..indicating immunity...basically i dont remember being vaccinated but when i left to india in 2005 from the states...i received some sort of vaccine..dont know which one it was.?? say i had caught Hep B..from my first girlfriend or 2nd..and received a hep A / B shot from the docs..would that effect my result today..and is the panel testing accurate...? thats whats scaring me...cause i think that shot messed up my results and ive read the surface antigen cannot be tested in some people...my HBsAg was negative...ANtiHbs - 183 Miu/ml  and antiHbc IgG and IgM was negative......

Sounds like you have never been infected by HepB.  Anyway make sure your hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is positive and you will be fine.

I think you are immune to HepB.
