Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Your blood (serum) has most likely been tested for the presence of antigen/antibody of viruses that cause hepatitis. "Non reactive" means that during the serological testing, there was no reaction between the antigen and antibody. This indicates absence of infection.
