Can tuberculosis transfer by french kiss.?

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that is most commonly spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be spread through close contact with an infected person, such as kissing or sharing food or drink.

The risk of getting TB from a french kiss is relatively low, but it is still possible. If you are kissing someone who has TB, you should avoid coming into close contact with their face and mouth. You should also wash your hands after kissing them.

If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to TB, you should talk to your doctor. There is a blood test that can detect TB infection. If you are infected with TB, you will need to take medication to treat the infection.
