I Am 26 Years Old Had A Blood Transfusion And Detected As Hepatitis B Positive. Is It Acute Or Chronic Infection ?

Hello I am 26 years old, i had a blood transfusion in Aug 2010 and detected as hepatitis B positive in Apr 2011 when I got hospitalized because of jaundice . It took six weeks to recover from jaundice. Now my billurubin and Liver enzymes are normal. Please tell me whether is it acute or chronic infection (as most probably I got infected at the time of blood transfusion)?
