Genital Tuberculosis

I had ectopic pregnancy in past. My gynecologist suggested PCR-TB test to rule out Tuberculosis. I read that PCR-TB test has a very high false-positive rate. I don't want to go through unnecessary medication. What are more reliable test available to confirm/rule out Tuberculosis?
