Most people improve after a few weeks upon starting treatment, but the
TB bacteria are still active in their bodies. Complete cure of
infection needs months of treatment (in most cases 6-9 months).

You're optimistically asking a lot of the doctors. In the UK they can't
even identify the disease.

And if you've been exposed to, or have had TB in the past, you should
not be on a therapy like Humira - it will cause/assist it to re-occur.

If you are on a TNF-alpha blocking drug and have been exposed to TB
advise your rhuemo immediately, and they will probably take you off of
it until they can confirm/treat you.
