This appears related to another post regarding a 2 year old having had hepatitis and now recovered. These tests confirm that. The "Ag" test would be positive if the baby continued to be an asymptomatic carrier. Positive anti-HBs are antibodies to hepatitis B (good) and the IgM test doesn't remain positive, so a negative test is also good.
