Please Help.. Question on False + Hep B

Hello...
Can someone please help me here.  I went to the doctor the other day and he said i was positive on Hep B but then another test was negative.  I had 3 vials of blood taken on the same day.  He said one came back positive but then the other was nagative.  What are the chances of a false positive?  Also what is the time frame from exposure to a positive result?   Can anyone please provide some guidance here.   thank you
