Tuberculosis bacteria is everywhere in the air coughed up by people who are infected. Compared to people who don't have a roommate with Tb, you are at more risk of getting the exposure. If he covers himself while coughing or sneezing, the risk reduces. Within one month of starting treatment, his infectivity reduces. Our immune system will be protecting us from getting infected. If your immune system is down, you are higher chances of getting the disease provided there is infected agents surrounding you. Good diet, sleep and exercise will help you.
