Sir,
As regards to your diagnosis and treatment, it is better to consult your treating doctor. Or else visit a doctor with all your reports for second opinion.
Discitis(infection) in India is mostly of tubercular origin which can be confirmed by biopsy (as in your case) and the treatment is anti tubercular drugs.
There is no special risk for HIV if you have TB but it is the other way round.
