I don't have TB

Good news. My PPD came back negative, so I did not contract latent tuberculosis while I was in India. Some of the doctors there thought I probably contracted it, as about half of our patients had TB, and some had very active diseases. Often people don't show any symptoms when they first contract TB. It just holes up until it sees an ideal time to attack.

I made a correction above. This doctor doesn't know his stuff... got mixed up with a recent malaria lecture I had.
