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.
