Hepatitis B and C transmision

Hi everybody, I hope someone can help me. I am bit confused about hepatitis transmission. So, my boyfriend had acute hepatitis B in past and it was resolved. He was told he has immunity and can't transmit virus, in other words, it didn't became chronic (no antigen, just antibodies). However, later he was diagnosed with hepatitis C, but also only acute form. His pcr test was negative for the last few years and doctors concluded it never became chronic. Based on this tests, doctors confirmed we can have unprotected sex and there is no risk that i will get infected because according to them, he cleared both viruses and never developed chronic forms. Can anyone confirm this to me? Can virus reappear somehow, or it's considered gone forever if it never became chronic?

I would say if he cleared the infection then there is nothing to worry about him infecting you. But to be safe even from other risks of hepatitis B infection, then you could get vaccinated.
