What LisaMH said is correct. What she did not say is that you probably only have immunity to one type of hepatitis. Probably hep A, but possibly B or C. Talk to your Dr and ask him to clarify his comments about your immunity to hepatitis. There is no broad immunity to all types of hepatitis.

Acquired immunity may be obtained by natural or artificial means. In addition to this, acquired immunity may be either active or passive. A natural immunity is an acquired immunity which would suggest a past exposure (active) or a history of vaccination (passive). If your doctor has also told you that your hep B titers are sufficient, than you are considered immune for as long as your titers remain that way.

Having the "antibody" doesn't mean you have the disease. It means at some point you were exposed to the disease. Since I don't know which Hep. virus you are talking about, we'll just be general. For instance, Hep. C is transmitted by blood born objects (blood, semen, etc...) therefore you could have been exposed to it through intercourse but never developed the disease. It is the same in regards to the other strands of the disease.
