She was never tested at st Luke’s , they know nothing about her tb test , it was all done in gen San , why would she have to wait a year ??

The one year wait applies if she was tested AT St Luke's and elected to get treatment elsewhere.  When treated at locations other than St Luke's AFTER being diagnosed BY St. Luke's, there is a one year wait after completion of treatment before medical can be rescheduled.  So really it is more than a one year wait, since it is treatment time THEN a one year wait.  Since she has never been to St. Luke's, this would not apply to her.

JM, so when her treatment id done in gen san, and their doctor says the treatment was a success, i assume she should be good to test at st lukes and be negative.

Saint Luke's gives no consideration whatsoever to any TB diagnosis other than their own.  If another doctor proclaimed "success" it is probably something Saint Luke's would want to double check.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you any reassurance that her current treatment will have any impact on her test at St. Luke's.  Even so, getting treatment now is the correct thing to do.  St. Luke's definitely will not care about her prognosis from outside doctors.  I'm not saying you should attempt to hide it, but don't expect to show them test results and expect to get anything other than an eyeroll.  They do request that you bring previous chest x-rays with you, so bring those along.  Hopefully, her current treatment will be enough for her to test negative, but only St. Luke's can decide that.
