TB disease can be treated by taking several drugs for 6 to 9 months. There are 10 drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating TB. Of the approved drugs, the first-line anti-TB agents that form the core of treatment regimens are: isoniazid (INH), TB treatment for new patients. TB which is not drug resistant) unless: There is a high level of isoniazid resistance locally in new TB patients, or. The patient has developed active TB disease after known contact with a patient who is documented as having drug resistant TB. You might need more treatment if tests show there is still TB bacteria in your body, but most people will get the all-clear. Your treatment will not be stopped until you are cured. It is possible to catch TB more than once, if you are unlucky enough to breathe in TB bacteria at another time. It depends where you have the TB. If it's in your genital system (which is rare these days) then you shouldn't have sex with your spouse unless your specialist says it's alright. But statistically, it's much more likely that the TB is in your lungs. You'll obviously know if this is so. If lung TB is what is called 'open' (which means that the person is coughing out germs), then he or she will be isolated from other people. This is uncommon nowadays. So, unless you are being isolated, there's no reason why you shouldn't have sex.
