Can I get infected by Tuberculosis in 5 mins? I went to a municipality hospital today to visit someone, By mistake I happened that I went into the art centre for tb patients and I was 5 minutes in there figuring out the place. Is it possible can I get infected? If yes what are the tests to be sure?
