Thanks for your questions which are really important.<\/p>\n
The answer depends on where you live and where you grew up as a child. This is because guidelines are different in different countries. This is also important for knowing whether you or your husband were exposed to TB when you were children, and whether of not you had a vaccine against TB.<\/p>\n
If you have latent TB <\/strong>(sleeping TB)\u00a0and have no symptoms, you cannot pass on the infection. This means that it is good to talk to your doctor about your own TB status and whether you need a vaccine.<\/p>\n However, if you have active<\/strong> TB, you could cough or sneeze TB bacteria into the air which could put your husband at risk.<\/p>\n Your husband should also talk to his HIV doctor about his level of risk.<\/p>\n To catch TB you normally need close contact and ‘heavy exposure’ from a person who has active TB. This can include living with someone who has active TB.<\/p>\n TB and HIV coinfection (from the i-Base training manual)Further info<\/h2>\n
