[|Human|] I am suffering from TB infection. My treatment is going on and its is for 6 months. My treatment started in may 2011. I would like to know that is it Ok to have sex and kissing during this treatment. AsI dont want spread it to my better half.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In the initial part of tb treatment, patient is infectious. So better to consult avoid sexual intercourse and close physical contact like kissing with your better half in first two months of treatment. After two months, patient usually improves symptomatic with reduced cough, improvement in chest x-ray etc. So patient becomes non-infectious after 2 months of treatment. So if your cough is reduced, appetite and weight are increased and x-ray has improved then you can definitely do sexual intercourse and close physical contact like kissing. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
