Hep/liver


I was recently tested for all std's and it came back negative, but my Liver enzymes came back little high Alt 76 Ast 42. Though told me that i was not immune to hep b even though I had the vaccine as a child. Im currently 19 years old to this day. They said there was no antibodies found on the results for anything at 6 weeks of possible exposure( slept with my girlfriend one time unprotected). The test they ran was IgM and Igg for everything. Im curious though on what could cause my liver enzymes to raise if i tested negative.

Signs:
Dull pain lower abs
I seem to have a Digestive Problem always rumbles.
On my left side under ribs and towards middle I seem to have pain.
When I poop it seems to be a whitish yellow color?

Extra information:
Gf took a std test the only girl I  have slept with and tested negative for everything. She is also immune to Hep B. Neither one of us has ever done drugs in are life.
Had another blood test done for liver enzymes and it came back more elevated ALT 176 AND AST 48.

Questions:
How accurate are my test?
Is it possible that I have Hep A,B,C even if we both tested negative? Also, if she is immune to Hep B is there any kind of chance to exposure to me?
Do you think I have Hep with the information I have?

Update:

So I went to the GI doctor and they did a ultra sound and blood work which all came back to normal except for the alt and sat which both drop from alt 176 to 90 and ast 70 to 40. They did a hepatic panel which I guess checked the liver functions and was normal. I'm just making sure though if I were to have any kind of hep would all this stuff be abnormal? He said almost 99% of the people that have hep their alt and ast is much much much higher then that like the 1000's.  Also, i know ultra sounds cant tell you for sure if you have hep or but can they tell if you do most likely making it abnormal or could it be normal and still have hep? So just one more opinion from anybody on here would you say that I could have hep?

Hi, were you tested for Hepatits C?  I am only saying this because HCV is not considered a STD so they would not automatically test for that.
It is just a suggestion
Some times there are other reasons for the ALT/AST to be elevated, like if you were drinking the night before you had the test or if you are on any medications.
Good luck
