Can I Make Physical Contact With A Person Tested Negative For TB?
my fiance has tb & has been receiving treatment for 3 months now. He went back for a re-test and he tested negative as a result of the treatment. Do you think it is safe to kiss at this level?
I am 5.7 feet tall and weigh 58kg. I donot have any medical history except for a periodic waist pain.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.No need to worry.As your fiance has already taken treatment for 3 months and the test has come has negative,nothing to worry.TB wont be transmitted to you at this stage.
TB will be infective only if the treatment is not taken properly for first 3 months.
Hope i have answered your query.
Thank you
