A Conversation Guide for Patients

Tuberculosis (TB) germs can live in your body for years without causing symptoms. This is called inactive TB or latent TB infection. Inactive TB can become active TB disease at anytime and make you sick. Once inactive TB becomes active TB disease, TB can spread from person to person through the air. Starting a conversation with your doctor is the first step to protecting your family, friends, and community from this highly contagious disease.
