If you're asking if you're contagious, it depends which antigens are positive or negative.  A positive antigen does not mean you're contagious.  I believe it's the surface antigen being positive that indicates you had Hep B at one time but cleared it on your own and are not contagious, however you'd need to clearly post your results in the Hep B forum where they better know such things or ask your doctor to explain it to you better.

I had Hep B in my late teens and I'm now non-contagious and immune but I will always carry the antigen in my blood.  Hope that helps.
