my 2 kids had sputum test and they had negative results. They did not undergo treatment...only the follow up Chest X ray after 2mos. When all was cleared We had PPR...plincess said:Hi,
I also went through the 3-day Sputum Test last Sept. 17, 2013. the smears turned out NEGATIVE but I still have to wait for 2 months (Nov.15) for the result of the culture test. two months waiting time is dragging..but in two days time I will go back to the hospital for the result.
I really hope that the result will be negative so I don't have to wait for another 6-month treatment.
Just a question, they say that if I did not get a call from the clinic within the 2 months waiting time, it means that more or less I am negative of the culture test. Is that always true? also, is there a possibility that I got "Negative" result from the culture but they will still require me to undergo 6-months treatment?
I'm really nervous now..i hope somebody could enlighten me on this.
Thanks!

If the results of the sputum smear/culture as well as the repeat chest x-ray ( 3 months after the 1st ) are negative, the DMP will definitely clear you and forwarded it to the visa office for further processing of you application...

Hi sis..maybe its because of the holidays nga. Im under sponsorship category. Im the one being sponsored. when i got a negative result for the culture, they also required me to have a repeat x-ray. what's important is mag negative ung culture. they told me that i don't have to go through the medication kasi waived na raw ung TB in my case. after 7-10 working days, they will update CEM and hopefully, will resume in processing my papers again.Flor chan said:Hi plincess,
I dont why it takes almost 3 months
maybe because december have a lot of holidays. And yes they are processing in CEM. Are you live in caregiver? Me im a live in caregiver and i sponsor my husband and daughter. So after the result what did they tell you?
