[|AI|]  Hello, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Short an answer: Usually it takes 6 months. Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. The treatment for an active tuberculosis is given for 6 months. Anti-Tuberculosis Chat Doctor.  Once this course is completed, tests will be repeated to know whether TB is cured or not. Depending on this treatment duration may continue even after 6 months or stopped. Hope this helps. If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
