Can I Have Intercourse With A Person On Treatment For Abdominal TB?
Question: can i have a sex with my wife who on treatment for abdominal t b for last 3 months
Hello,
Thank you for posting a query.
Firstly, tuberculosis is not a sexually transmitted disease. Mainly it involves the lungs. But in some cases like your wife, it occurs in the intestine. For this, infected cow’s milk is thought to be a cause.
So, there is no chance of getting infected by sexual act. You can do sex with your wife.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have another question.
Regards.
