I'm really anxious because I got a positive result after taking a TB Gold Standard test for my UAE work visa, but I'm not showing any symptoms at all. Could there be any connection between this result and HIV, even though my HIV test came back negative? I'm really worried and need some clarification on what's happening.

View allI'm currently using a Seroflo 250 inhaler and I've read that it contains steroids. I'm a bit concerned about having to use this medication for the rest of my life. Could you please explain if there are any potential side effects or complications I should be aware of? I'm really looking for some clarity on this.
Long-term use of Seroflo 250 inhaler, containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone (a steroid), may lead to potential side effects, including oral thrush, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis, and cataracts; however, the benefits of controlling asthma symptoms often outweigh the risks

It's gotten to the point where our six-month-old son and I can't sleep either since we all share the same room.

I'm 25 and having a bit of a scare here. I've been coughing up this black phlegm, dealing with nasal congestion, and feeling breathless, but it gets a bit better after I cough. I havent smoked ever, and I live in an area with clean air, so Im really confused. What could be going on with me? And what kind of medication should I be considering? Also, I'm not experiencing any cough or fever along with it.
it might be acute bronchitis
