hi
welcome to health care magic.
do not panic.there are chances of you being infected if she has an active infection.i would suggest you to get yourself tested for tuberculosis.diagnosis is made by tests like tuberculin test,chest x ray,sputum microscopy..consult a physician and get yourself evaluated.
take care!

hi
welcome to HCM
read your prob , do not worry tubercular lymphadenopathy can not spread by any contect. if primary focus of TB was lung then nothing to be bother as after taking 2 month of course it can not be infectious any more. so be happy.

hello dear,u need not worry, since it is not an active infection.TB in the infectious state has the bacteria in the sputum, 3 mths of medication has a good control.Still if u fear than just go for blood/clot culture and relieve yourself.Other tests come positive later on.
