If you test positive for TB, yeah, you will be disqualified. That is HIGHLY contagious and dangerous.
2 :
You will be screened further. If there is no sign of active or prior disease on chest x-ray or sputum test, it merely indicates that you were exposed to TB. Exposure does not disqualify you.

If you tested pos on the initial skin scratch test. That just means you may have been exposed or just sensitive to that test, Not that you have the disease. It is the cheapest and first one given. They will then do a different test, where they inject a test under the skin of your forearm. If the second test is negative, you are good to go. They will note in your medical records and shot records that all future test will be the second type. You will get tested often in the future
