My mom was born in the UK. She told me that she had a vaccine shot and she gets tested positive. The may be a chance that I got some antibodies from her and thats why I'm testing positive.

just because you test positive doesnt mean you have it... just means you have antibodies. can be from a previous vaccination (in some other country prob), or just exposure. the final end-all test is a chest x-ray. hopefully it wont come to that.

I was diagnosed with TB I had to take 6 months of medication and I had to get Xrays of my lungs every so often. This diagnostic kinda sucks because you HAVE to take the medicine!! in my case I HAD to take it in order to go to school. I had to go to the doctor all the time too which in a way sucked.
