If a person has active TB or TB disease, they can spread it by coughing or sneezing in the air. They can not spread it by kissing, hugging, sharing food etc. You would contract it by inhaling the air with the bacteria after they coughed or sneezed. If your immune system can somewhat fight it, you would be diagnosed with latent tuberculosis infection. If infected with LTBI, you can't spread it. But, it can lead to active TB or TB disease. It can take anywhere from several weeks to several years for LTBI to evolve into TB disease. Either one can be diagnosed through a blood test or a Tuberculin skin test. Also, LTBI can be prevented from evolving into TB disease with the right medication.

∙ 11y agoThere is no definitive answer for this. Once someone is diagnosed with TB, they will be treated aggressively with antibiotics. There will be tests run and they are considered infective until 3 clear tests come back. However, once someone has had TB, or been exposed to it, it can wall itself off in cells within the body and stay dormant.
