She has consulted with numerous doctors/ infection control specialist and they said that hers was not an exposure but a simple allergic skin reaction to the test. My mom is a registered nurse and had also tested possitive with the skin tests/ negative chest x ray. Was told I had been exposed at some time and needed to go on the 9 months of meds. Had the possitive skin test/ negative chest x ray. I am in the exact same situation as you are. I understand that we all carry the TB germ in our body, it does not show up until it is activated for whatever reason.ДЄ pregnant mother can pass the TB germ to her unborn baby. TB can attack other organs, not only the lungs. My lungs were clear but I had to get kidney x-rays off an on for a year. The doctor said I could have had a light case of TB at that age and it was passed off as a cold. She was a snuff dipper/spitter and most likely I crawled around on the floor and was in contact with her sputum. I also tested positive via skin test, however, my grandmother died of TB when I was 4 years old. I learned later a batch of med used for testing was bad. At the end of the first round of med they told him to go on with his life, he did not need to take anymore med.

He was on a med for 6 months and then was suppose to take another med for another 6 months. Go to another area where you could get tested with a different batch of med and see if you are still positive. It could have been a bad batch of med used for the test.
