Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor! Bag positivity means recent active Hepatitis B infection. It is tested as a routine in many govt set-ups by a simple screening test. If the screening test is reactive then a confirmatory test is mandatory because there are false positive results and if the confirmatory test is non-reactive and a quantitative test is also negative that means person is free from disease as in your case. So I think it was just a false positive result which gave you worry!
