Now they wrote for TB-PCR-BLOOD. What is probability that it to be positive? If it is positive will the government give time for me to get cured ? Please help. I DON'T have any active. Symptoms, not even cough. Please help. thanks.

Tb PCR in blood is not a recommended test. Tb gold came positive because of past history of Tb. To see whether you have active ds. Or not clinical symptoms, CXR or CT scan along with sputum exam will help. Get yourself evaluated by pulmonologist.
