Yes, you can recover from TB with the correct treatment. It sounds like you have had a cure. It is unlikely for this infection to reoccur, but you could get re-infected if you are again exposed to it. To avoid it, stay away from people that have it or are prone to have it, and from environments where it is common. Avoid using drugs, especially injecting drugs. This can lower you immunity and make it easier for you to get re-infected. Taking good care of yourself as far as diet, exercise, and sleep is also vital in maintaining a strong immune system. Hope this helps.
