Is TB Sexually Transmitted?
Hi , I am having sex from past one year with a man. He recently told me that he is married and his wife has tb in her uterus, also he told me that his wife was a rape victim and for tb they are undergoing treatment. I am not worried of my broken heart but I just want to know practically can I be also effected? If a man sex with tb infected women and then sex with me aso well. Is a harm to me.?

Hello,
TB is not transmitted through sexually. It is a droplet infection and it is spreads through the airway.
