anybody ever got tested positive on TB?

Question

I got tested positive on tuberculosis. They did x-ray. Waiting for their call and freaking out. Anybody had that happening?

Answer

Doesn't necessarily mean you have it but you have been exposed. Don't panic

Answer

I was exposed when I went to college. I was getting a summer job my first summer home and had to have a tb test as part of the hiring process. I tested positive. My chest xray came back negative. They said that I am a carrier now and that if I take the required meds for 6 months that my chances of it affecting me in my lifetime was less than 4percent. Every time I get pregnant, I remind the Dr but that's it. It has been 20 years and it has never been a problem.
