How can I prevent TB?

TB is spread by tiny airborne droplets created by coughing. It is not spread by sharing food, utensils, drinks, touching, or having sex. Covering the mouth and nose when coughing is an important way to stop the spread of TB and other airborne diseases.

If you have TB disease and are coughing, it is important to wear a mask and limit contact with others until your healthcare provider tells you that you are no longer contagious while on treatment.
Seeking care right away and finding out you have TB is the best way to stop its spread since the treatment of the disease helps you not be contagious, decreasing transmission.
