You had a previous hep b acute infection as indicated by the positive core antibodies.  Fortunately your body was able to fight it off and now you are immune and will not infect others.  Congrats!

Your surface antigen is negative and you are positive for anti HBs.  Your body has cleared the virus from your body and you are immune from future Hep B infections.  
You are not a carrier

blood tests will show that your immune system has gotten rid of the virus
and produced “hepatitis B surface antibodies” (HbsAb+ or anti-HBs+). These “surface
antibodies” will protect you for a lifetime from any future contact with the hepatitis B virus.  

You cannot infect other people because you no longer have the hepatitis B virus in
your blood.


is this true genx7? correct me if im wrong. thanks.just tryin to help
