What Causes Anti Hbc Igm Positive After Treated Hepatitis?

Hi. 3 years ago I tested hbs ag neg, anti hbs pos, anti hbc igm pos. Hep a and c all neg. And was told it had a recent but cleared hep b infection. Recently I had experinced similar symptoms that had lead me to haveing hep test done. Although these were less server and only lasted a few days. So I had another hep profile done. Hep a and c neg. Hb ags neg, anti hbc igm pos. Is this a new infection. I'm under the impression that the anti hgc igm showes recent <6mo. Infection.
