When someone tests TB positive, it means the bacteria is in their body. Symptoms are usually a cough that lasts more than 3 weeks, fever, especially in the evenings, night sweats, and losing weight without trying. My neighbor had it years ago, but with proper medicine, he fully recovered. So don't worry, just get treated properly.
