Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Get serum HbsAg and antibodies level tested. This can help you in confirmation.
2. You could have got through exposure to blood through injections, blood transfusions or even sex.
3. Get yourself tested at earliest to avoid risk of transferring to others and to avail treatment. Ask others around you to get hepatitis B vaccination done. Its very affordable.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again
