Thank you for posting your query.

Nothing to worry.
anti HCV negative and HBsAg negative means that you have NOT been infected by HBV or HCV.
you are NOT suffering from either of HepB or HepC.
you may check your antiHBV antibody titer 6 to 8 weeks after your last shot of HBV vaccination. this will reflect your immunity against HBV.

wish you good health.
