Question 1

I've had TB when I was just 3 years old, which was like 22 years ago, and I recently found out it left some scars on my lungs. I never really knew about it until now when I went for a medical test for a job in Kuwait. I was so bummed to hear that I was declared medically unfit because of this. Now, I have another job offer from Saudi Arabia, and I really don't want to miss out on this chance. Is there any way to reduce the visibility of these scars? They seem pretty light to me and there's just two spots that show up on an X-ray. Can you suggest any treatment that could help them not show on the X-ray?

The window period of HIV can be any where between a month and a decade. However, you can undergo an ELISA test or Western blot test which are mostly accurate.
