I got tested for hep b and it came back neg antigen w/ surface antibodies, which my doctor said is the norm for a vaccinated person. ( I am vaccinated-received all 3 doses) But every since then I don't know why but I am deadly afraid that my boyfriend has hep b. I never had a reason to think this until this test. My doctor said my results have nothing to do with him. But i'm really scared. He told me he won't get tested b/c he knows he doesn't have it. Am I worrying for no reason?

I think you need to talk to a doctor about this. You have asked this question over 5 times now and no matter how many people (or how little people) respond to it, you keep asking it again and again.
Please see a doctor.

That result is normal for someone who has been vaccinated, I am a lab tech who does that kind of testing. What makes you think your boyfriend has Hep B? Does he have any of these classic symptoms?
yellow skin or yellowing of the whites of your eyes (jaundice)
tiredness
loss of appetite
nausea
abdominal discomfort
dark urine
clay-colored bowel movements
joint pain
If he does, I would say ask him to take the test. It's for his health, and I'm sure he would do it with your loving concern! Good luck!

he should get tested to see if you are worrying for no reason, and if he does have it, then be glad that you got vaccinated because you'll know you dont
