A member asked:

I have completed 2 months treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis now can i kiss my boyfriend?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: First off, a 2 month treatment suggests that you were being treated for 'latent' TB rather overt active infection that is usually treated for 9 months. In latent tb, you are not infectious anyway and kissing does not transmit tb.
