Hi,
Nothing to worry.
Continue with the treatment.
Once treatment is started within short time it does not give infection to others by kissing, sex or through coughing.
Untreated TB cases are more risky of spreading infection.
So nothing to worry, get married and enjoy good family and marital life.
Ok and take care.
