Green Card and TB

The recent TB news on CNN and everywhere had caught my attention. When I came to US My university required TB test for all. I was tested Positive on Skin test and later they recommended X-ray of my chest. The chest X-ray was negative. However the health department suggested me to go under 9 months medication. It was voluntary. I went under 9 months long medication. After completing 9 months, department of health sent me a card indicating I went under mediaction.
It is mentioned in the card that after medication , the skin test will always be positive. I also know that such 'Dormant' type of TB is more common elsewhere especially from peole in asia and all continent.
Since I am on process of Green Card and a step of green card requires Tb test, I am worried if this might be a cause of denial. What is the chance of getting denial due to health case I mentioned above. Has anyone who received green card went under such situation?
