till theyre old and gray. a lot of people have this and as long as its inactive then the person will be fine.

You can live as long as God wants you to. Do go for chest X-rays and a test called Monteux test which is a test to indicate active TB. Keep your immunity up and always be positive. Be aware ,though that TB is highly contagious and all bacteria can mutate and present problems to the patient as well as his loved ones in contact with him like cildren or spouse.See a good doctor for advice
