how i found out

posted by nikkie on 18 Jan 2011 at 9:45 am

My boyfriend went to the doctors so he could get a physical. When he went, the doctor did test on him and gave him 3 shots. One was for TB and the doctor told him to come back to see if he has TB.

He got this red bump on his arm, the doctor saw it and told him he has tested positive for TB and now I am over here freaking out I really don't know what to do.

IN 2008 - TB

posted by emilyannette on 08 Dec 2011 at 2:36 pm

When I first came to America, I got a shot for test of TB. And that night I got this red bump, I got so cared because none of my brothers and my mom have this bump besides me. So, I was tested positive for TB, I didn't understand the meaning of TB back then but now I know if I take the medicine I could still live. It's hard being a kid and knowing that I might just die because of TB.

posted by Alice on 22 Jan 2012 at 12:05 pm

my little bro almost got tuberculosis, but in the end the results where negative, but just in case i decided to do my paper on it so I could do some research. I need more info on the cause and it would be helpful if you could expand on that.
Sincerly,
Alice

Hi Alice, i'm glad your brother is ok.

"Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through tiny droplets of infected sputum that travel through the air"

If you are trying to add information on the origins of the disease then you may find that this article will help:

Best of luck.
