Clarify test results: Do you mean both HBsAg and anti-HBs are negative? If so, these test results suggest you do not have hep B and never did. If HBsAg neg and anti-HBs positive, that is consistent with past hepatitis B, now gone and your worries over. Discuss with your doctor, preferably the one who diagnosed your past hepatitis.
