You need to have a blood test for antibodies to HBcAg, HBsAg. If not, then it means that you do not have immunity to hepatitis B and you're not infected. It is advisable not to be in contact with a patient with hepatitis B. If you have antibodies to HBcAg class IgG, it means you have immunity to the disease.
