Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for all these.
Tuberculosis is 100%curable with 6-8 months of treatment.
TB patients are infectious only during first month of treatment.
After first month, patient starts improving in terms of cough, fever, expectoration, weight gain etc.
So at the time of your marriage, you will be noncontagious and will not spread infection today your future husband.
So no need to worry for spread of infection while kissing or touching tongue.
Better to avoid pregnancy during treatment of tuberculosis. Once your treatment is complete you can plan pregnancy. No harm today your baby in breast feeding too.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
