No: And what evidence for Hep B ? You can have antibodies to B from a widely available vaccine that has be given to many for about 30 years. We routinely give it to infants to prevent Hep B.

Unrelated: You could have had perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection, and remained as a chronic carrier or have had a slowly progressing infection.
