Yellow Jaundice at age 14. Does having the jaundice many years ago prohibit me

Does having "yellow Jaundice many years ago - when I was approx 14, mean that I have had hepititis A, B etc?  And does that prohibit me from giving blood?  Is there a test I should take to make sure?  The jaundice lasted a couple of weeks and this was many years ago.

Only way to know is go to your doctor, explain the history and request a Hep C test.
