On the other hand coming from a country where TB is highly prevalent, a positive PPD can mean only exposure ... I saw ppl who had +ve PPD and never developed TB ... so it's your choice to take izoniazid or not ... BTW it's very toxic for your liver so cut the alcohol if you decide to take it .
Hope that helps,
