you don't HAVE to tell anyone...a clear xray means they aren't active, plus, it is virutally impossible for kids to be contagious even with active tb...that being said, we started at a new dentist, and the form asked if they have ever tested positive for tb...and i'm typically a rule follower...so i checked yes. lol. i did inform a few groups/families we had been hanging around because i was unsure where eli was exposed....so i wanted people to know in case their children were exposed as well. it will be on your shot record....so if you go to enroll your child in preschool or something of that nature, those people will know automatically. i tend to keep it low key in our community, especially since eli is clear AND On meds, bc most people freak out when they hear tb and then don't hear the rest about how it is impossible for him to be contagious.
