Positive TB test but hiv test negative 12 weeks

Hi everyone I have been using your site to ease my 3 months of agony but had a bummer today. I received my 12 week negative hiv anti body test and hiv rna tests. But just found out I tested positive for TB. So is my 12 week hiv negative test conclusive even though I tested positive with TB? Thx all

HIV effects the immune system and makes a person more vulnerable to contact other things.

Hi, TB has nothing to do with hiv. HIV tests for antibodies to hiv and none were found.
