Not really , but it's a one symptom of HIV. It doesn't mean that if you have TB so you are HIV positive. Actually HIV and TB often go together,because with HIV your immune system gets week, which causes different kind of infections and TB is one of them. So it's means TB is a symptom of your immune system weakness, but remember there are many other things makes your immune system weak, for instance, stress, Diabetes, blood pressure etc. So please don't think too much and get a blood test.
