Hi there!

The test just shows a possibly recent infection or vaccination. Hepatitis B is rarely fatal and vast majority of patients are able to tide over the infection on their own, while a few may require treatment. The overall precise status can only be commented after having a look at the complete panel. You may like to discuss the situation with your treating doctor.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
