It is not confirmatory test for TB.
It only shows that you are exposed to the infection.

It only means you have been exposed to the mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria in past .
Mantoux positive does not confirms an active TB infection.
Need to correlate clinically.
If you have symptoms then will have to confirm with other tests like. Chest x-ray...AFB.... CBNAAT....ESR etc.

It might mean you might have been exposed to TB bacteria, may not necessarily mean you have the infection right now, but more information is necessary regarding your condition, to make an informed diagnosis.
