By about 20 days after starting medication the person no longer will be able to transmit pulmonary tb. Essentially it should be ok to go to us.

Dear Ms. Lybrate-user, first of all not all tb are contagious, therefore someone will need to see, type and medication of tb before commenting on the question. Secondly there is no test what you asked for.
