General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi Farhan,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tuberculosis is a air borne disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not a sexually transmitted disease an hence it is not transmitted by sexual intercourse.
Most of the times, it s completely curable if the medications advised are taken properly and for the said duration.
Kindly follow the schedule strictly and follow-up as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
