Those people who are most likely to contract tuberculosis are those already infected with HIV or AIDS or those people who are homeless and living on the streets as these people are succeptable to catching infections due to their lower immune systems which happens with AIDS and poor diet along with damp living conditions and which in turn leaves them open to all sorts of other diseases and infections too
