Is tb still contagios after 1 month treatment?

Usually not: With adequate therapy, overall, patients with pulmonary TB are no longer infectious at that point. Situations, however, may be individualization.

Unlikely: If the right medications are used. Check with doc. Resistant TB may still be contagious.
