i have jaundice,which is the classic symptom of hepatitis right?

--You can't be sure, you may not even have hepatitis.  Only your test can tell.

is it very likely i have it?

--Possible but not sure.

who will be able to access to my med records?

--Persons you give permission to, unless you are under 18.

The household contacts you described usually do not transmit, unless the source of the virus is in acute state.

The best way to protect you and your little brother is to get tested and know what needs to be done.  After that you will be less worried.

Best.
