Well, today was a good day. I found out that my CD4 was 600+ and viral load undectable. Great news! BUT... I found out that I have Latent Tuberculosis. Its an inactive form of Tuberculosis.
Many people who have latent tuberculosis never develop active TB. However, some people who have latent TB infection are more likely to develop active TB than others. These people are at high risk for active tuberculosis. They include:
•People with HIV infection - great! Thats Me! lol... it doesn't sound so bad, but its a little scary that it could turn into TB anytime. My doctors don't seem too concerned but they say we can deal with it at my next apt. Just that if I start to cough that I should let them know right away. Nothing like having that on your mind huh?
If anyone know any info or has thoughts feel free to let me know.
Goodnight.
Tom
PS, I emailed my mom to tell her, maybe she'll reach out to me. We'll see.
