I got tested positive for skin xray & now have an abnormal chest x-ray? I have no symptoms what so ever. Im worried and I dont know what to expect. Is this contagious? Can anyone advise on what I should expect? Thank you.

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease and is spread via the air. People with TB who have been treated with the correct drugs for at least 2 weeks are not contagious. Those correctly treated do not spread the bacteria to others.
