I have received 2 neg sputum after 8 weeks each. I previously had a positive Mac culture but was not treated due to my age (86 y/o. )Does the neg mean I no longer have Mac? tia

From what I understand yes. You need to ask your doctor though. Best of luck. I am praying for you. I also had my first test come back positive, and am going I. Tomorrow for my second test. This is frightening.
