Have a PPD test done on yourself to test if you've been exposed, if so prophylactic antibiotics should do the trick. Your Dr may also make you have a chest xray if your ppd is pos to make sure you dont have an active case

Is their any negitiv physical reactions or reprocussion to retaking a tuberculosis skin test if you've had it

Is their any negitiv physical reactions or reprocussion to retaking a tuberculosis skin test if you've had it?
If you've tested positive and had tuberculoisis exposure in the past, but got treated... and it disappeared from the x-ray (only showing the SCAR on the lungs)... is their any reason or physical reaction that may come from taking the test again? For example, recontracting the virus, swollen arms, etc. What are those reactions?? Please don't ask questions, like, "why would you take it again... etc," I just need an answer to the question. Thanks!

Probably will get discharged if you have damage to your lung from it. They cannot discharge you until you are released, and they could give you some other type job in an office, but not sure if they will. It will not be dishonorable discharge, though.
2 :
my guess is you will be discharded, but because you say you got it in AIT, as long as you can prove it, you can claim it with the VA and get benefits for life... you can live a normal life with it too, i worked with a retired vet from vietnam who is a carrier and he has no real limitations, he just has to have a chest x-ray every 6-12 months to see how his lungs are doing, its only considered contagious while its active too so i don't know why your not in some kind of isolation or why the person you got it from isnt isolated either

I think that you should aks a health care professional this question or go to a reputable internet site.

only 10% of people who get TB actually get sick, TB is treatable usually with multi drug therapy over 6 months but drug resistance can be a problem, but most likely your dad will be fine

"could one can have oral sex with the person suffering from hepatitis /AIDS or tuberculosis?" -- Would one WANT to??? As for hepatitis, it depends on which type and you didn't specify this. Hep B is transmitted through saliva and so is hep D. AIDS cannot be transmitted but HIV can, however HIV isn't transmitted by saliva. The TB mycobacterium is carried in saliva but this is a respiratory disease so unless you do your breathing as well as your thinking with your little head, you're not at risk for this. None of these diseases is transmitted by fellatio. You are more likely to give something to the woman. You profess to be fearful of diseases. So then why do you seek prostitutes
