need an answer, please

well, i did receive an answer for my request. thank you guys.
i had one more question. i had an HBV test 2 months ago, i checked only for the HBs Ag which came back negative.
and i as i mentioned before on this site that i had another test for the HBV, this included HBs Ag=negative
HBs Ab= Weakly postive and no answer yet for the HBc Ab. i have to wait for a week. i did not have any sex for the over last 3 months. how could this be possible?
if i was exposed to the virus during this 3 months, and i built an immune for HBV, why didn't it show HBs Ag positive in the first test?? or is it due to a vaccination which i really have no idea about. i was never told that i had this HBV vaccine sometime in my life.

i appreciate your help.

Zellyf is right.  Anxiety is the only problem you need to deal with, not HBV.

I'm not sure we can help with your anxiety.  Let's review:

1.  You know you don't have Hep B *now*.  And that's what's important.  If you had Hep B at some point, you don't anymore.  

2.  You have to wait for the core antibody results to come back.  That's all there is to it.  No amount of speculation will provide any further insight.
