: The pattern you described is typically seen in people vaccinated for Hepatitis B. You have immunity to Hep B as indicated by Hep B surface AB (antibody); and there is no active infection. Lack of Hepatitis B surface AG (antigen) means there is no proliferating virus in your body. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
