Context: Latent tuberculosis is when the bacteria hangs out dormant in your body. It doesn’t cause symptoms and isn’t contagious, but it’s not great since there’s always a risk it could wake up when your immune system gets preoccupied with a different infection.

I had previously tested positive a few years ago when I started a different medical industry job. They X-rayed my chest, said it was fine and not to worry.

Just started a new medical industry job that also tests for it, and I’m happy to find out that I no longer have it! :D
