Partner Suffering With TB, Had Blood In The Mouth Post Intercourse. Contraction Chances?

hi...my partner has been found to be suffering with TB. We just had intercourse once and during that i found that she s is getting blood in her mouth. After forcing she told me that she is suffering with TB. Now I m worried about that if she has got TB only and not any other disease and is it possible that i might suffer with that too because we were smooching and kissing. What precautions should i take. There are no symptoms showing up till now and it has been a week now. Please suggest me as soon as possible. Thanks
