I don't know about urine tests for TB. Also TB Gold test and mantoux test being positive doesn't signify active tuberculosis, it simply means you got exposed to the bacteria in your lifetime which is the case in more than half of the population. So if have any any symptoms of TB do relevant tests (like sputum microscopy for pulmonary tuberculosis) otherwise don't worry you're fine.
