From http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/hepatitis_virus_tests.jsp

IgM antibody (anti-HAV/IgM), appears approximately three to four weeks after exposure and returns to normal within several months.
IgG (anti-HAV/IgG) appears approximately two weeks after the IgM begins to increase and remains positive.

HBsAg indicates an active HBV infection.
A person is considered to be a carrier if this antigen persists in the blood for six or more months.

Anti-HBs is the antibody that demonstrates immunity after administration of the hepatitis B vaccine. Its presence also indicates immunity to subsequent infection.

You seem to be Immune to HepA and HepB

Hope this Helps
