Background: I am a 28 yr old Female diagnosed with Mild pulmonary TB in July. AFB was positive and CB NAAT was negative -MTB not detected. So my doc concluded it as NTM kind. I am on Anti-TB medication from DOTTS since July and it's been 2 months now. Symptoms have disappeared to quite a extent, a little tiredness persist now and then.
Culture test result until 11-08-2023 - No growth after 4 weeks of incubation .
Question: Can I involve in physical intimacy with my partner? Would there be a concerns of contamination when kissing?
My Treating doctor has confirmed that I had Mild TB and now am not contagious anymore. I wanted to gain assurance from wider forum if TB can still spread to another person via Saliva?
