Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. You have been tested to see whether you have -1. Hepatitis B infection2. Got vaccinated /protected against hepatitis B infection3. Hepatitis C infection. As per the report -1. You do not have hepatitis B infection2. You do not have any protective antibodies against Hepatitis B which means you were not vaccinated against hepatitis B or had any past infection. So you are susceptible for hepatitis B infection. You can get protected against Hepatitis B by getting 3 shots of hepatitis B vaccine.3. You do not have hepatitis C infection. I hope that answers your question.
