HI
Thanks for posting your query .

First of all TB is not diagnosed based only on TB gold test . It is a combined clinical and investigation findings .

A patient of TB will becomes non infectious ( Non Contagious is a proper term ) after taking 3-4 days of treatment . How long it takes to recover from the disease depends of many factors .

1. Duration for which she has suffered TB .
2. Extent of damage suffered from TB .
3. Her Nutritional status.
4. Her Blood sugar levels .
5. Her Physical Activity .

I request you to upload the test reports used in making the diagnosis of TB and also her recent test reports so that I can go through it and help you better .
I find this answer helpful
