Hello! I just want to ask about a health issue that I'm struggling with. I have TB and I'm currently on medication. It's already my 2nd month on DOT. But my uncle who's living with me is recently diagnosed with TB too. He's on his first day of medication. And I know that he only stops being infectious after 2 weeks. Is there any risk of me being more infected? I already have tb and I'm on medication, but I'm worried that it might be bad for me again.
