here is my situation:
After taking my 2 step TB test that was needed for my PT masters program, i was just told that i'm POSITIVE for TB. I have zero problems (no coughing or anything). I'm as healthy as they come. My Dr even was puzzled how a 22 year old Canadain gets Latent TB. I have a chest X-ray tomorrow, which i HOPE is negative. If the CXR is neg, i will be reffered to a respirologoist as per my GPs wishes. My GP told me that chances are he won't even put me on the antibiotics... i'm not sure why he said that b/c there is still a 1/10 chance my TB can become active... that's larger than i'm comfortable with.
Please any thoughts or help would be great. I'm very worried and really have no idea what i'm going to do.
