see my note...if it was primary TB, which spreads through the body quickly because you don’t have a good immune system to wall off the infection, the skin test is negative and the X ray is not typical for Tb.

the skin test is negative

Anergy is like that...
But not doing it, in this situation, is negligent
TB can still be present, with a (-) TB skin test,
in immunocompromised patients
