help please anyone?

hello,,,,
I was recently tested for HBV.  It turns out i am naturally immunized, though i had my vaccinations (in the 90s).  my surface antigen is Negative, and i have developed surface antibodies greater than 500.  my hepatitis b core antibodies total was a Positive. could this be a result of jaundice as a baby and clearing the infection on my own?  

if my surface anitgen is a negative, does this mean it completely cleared out?
all liver function tests are normal.

Important last question please:

when Hepatitis b core antibodies is positive, would it transfer sexually ?

please help me understand, much appreciated.

You were previously infected with HBV but you have cleared it and developed immunity.  You cannot transfer what virus you don't have sexually.

Best.
