Bm2016 has given you very good advice. It does seem you have recovered from a previous Hepatitis B infection and you will not infect others with HBV. Your doctor's advice is correct.

I am not an expert, but from what i understand, HBc AB is just an indication of past or present hbv infection, where positive mean has exposed to the virus, negative mean has not yet expose to virus, does not provide any protection.  You would need other bloodwork report to make the result more meaningful. Also have your wife test for hbv and if she is not a carrier, get vacinate as soon as possible
