Tested Positive

  1. So just last Wednesday, I went to the doctor for my annual physical examination and I asked them to test me for TB(it's almost 2 years since my last one, I need it for work). They performed the new TB Blood Test on me where they took blood from me to fill up 3 filled with some sort of antigen or something. I get a call from work yesterday from one of the nurses telling me that the tests came out Positive. I'm not too worried, but I was very surprised when I found out. I just don't want to swallow pills for 6-9 months which will probably make me lose my appetite and may potentially cause Hepatitis.

    Any comments or feedbacks would be great.
     
  2. tb = tuberculosis right?
     
  3. How Doc Holliday of you.
     
  4. yeah, sorry forgot to be more clear
     
  5. I just got a TB test cuz my mom had TB so I had to get tested for it. The nurse told me there are a lot of false positives, so you just might have got a false positive.

    But goodluck man.
     
  6. The first time I got stoned and went to school, I was sent to the office with about half of the higher end admins. Turns out I didn't turn in my TB form, but I was so paranoid and sketchy I'm surprised they couldn't tell.

    I ended up going home, ordering a pizza, and going to sleep. :D
     
  7. hey if you have tb than i wish you the best of luck but if its a false positive like someone else said than your good. i pray for you man
     
  8. Holy shit. Whats the stat on TB these days? Curable?
     
  9. Treatable but not curable to the best of my knowledge
     
  10. You can be a TB carrier while never showing symptoms of the illness. There are a lot of people that are carriers. It only becomes a problem when the bacteria 'activate.' Most carriers never have to worry about that
