No positive contour does not mean that you have active tb. There are many reasons for a positive contour test. Patient may have certain symptoms, x-ray findings and some other test positive to say that it is tb. However, you need to consult a chest physician for proper evaluation esp with 15 and 20 mm reading and also person who has something in the chest x-ray.
