Well, long story short, I had BCG vaccinations, skin test turned out positive, so took QFT-Gold test. QFT-Gold test came out positive, so took chest X-rays, results were negative. Doctor said I don't HAVE to take the medications but recommended it. I wanted to take them, but turns out I have some minor liver conditions too(which might be made worse if I took the TB medications), so I didn't start treatment at all.

My question is, how likely is it for employers to reject me on the basis of "Go get it treated first"? The treatment takes monthsss, which is why I'm so concerned. I have no problems being on medication while I'm employed, but if I have to finish treatment first, then.. eurgh.

So yeah, your input/experience on this please. Thank you.
