Hi thanks for asking question.
You have taken vaccine for hepatitis b.so you can be protected against hep.b .

But chances of getting infection by hepatitis c is there.This vaccine not provide protection against hepatitis c.

It can be acquired by sexual route or blood transfusion or contaminated syringe and needle.

As in your case report first time can be false positive or although rare hepatitis c can be resolved.

As just now for confirmation do ELISA or nucliec acid technique PCR . The result of these techniques considered valid.

If it comes positive then precautions taken with low fat and more fruits with regularly check liver function test.

I hope you will understand my concern.
