TB is airborne, it can be passed thru droplets in the air. You can either have "Latent TB" this is inactive TB, it isnt contagious or "Active TB" this one makes you sick, cough, weight loss, fatigue, fever, night sweats, chills. If you have Latent TB then you may need to just take one type of drug. Completing treatment is essential. The only way to cure the disease is to complete treatment. Good luck!
