Hello,
I have seen many TB patients. It is transmitted only through the respiratory droplets. It is not a sexually transmitted disease. If you might have taken Anti TB drugs and completed the dose. You don't need to worry. One advice for you is you should take nutritious food and bask in the sun daily to boost your immunity.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
