No TB is tuberculosis which is totally different from HIV.
Tuberculosis (commonly shortened to TB) is an infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system (meningitis), lymphatic system, circulatory system (Miliary tuberculosis), genitourinary system, bones and joints. Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious diseases today.

Human immunodeficiency virus, commonly known by the initialism HIV, is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

tb is teburculousis. I don't think it has to do directly with AIDS or HIV

Tb is a completely different infection and TB can go away easily in a person who does not have HIV provided the person has a strong immune system.
