If i show positive on a skin test for Tuberculosis TB

If i show positive on a skin test for Tuberculosis TB? ?
I don't have TB, but if i showed positive on a skin test, will I show negative after treatment if there's such a thing. I worked in corrections for a while and want to switch to a healtcare related field & need to show negative on a TB skin test as a pre requirement.

Once you have tested positive you always will, even with treatment. If you have tested positive in the past you need to have a chest x ray instead of the skin test

Need Help With Tuberculosis... info How likely am i to have it

Need Help With Tuberculosis... info How likely am i to have it?
well i was positive apperantly when i was small. my responsible mom didnt make me finish treatment. At the age of 15 my mom told them i did not finish treatment they made me take x-rays they said nothing was found within the x-ray but the doctor made me retake the drug for 'just in case'. and sadly though i was not told i was positve i took 6/9 months of the treatment. i didnt finish treatment again.

TB is very common in the general population though most people who test positive will never develop symptoms. Stop worrying
