Is completely cured tb possible to be transmitted thru sex?Or to the unborn child?


My gf had severe tb 6 yrs ago which was completely cured.
If I have sex with her what are the cnahces that I wl get Tb?
And if we decide to have a child what are the chances the child wl have tb?
How serious is tb and what triggers it?

TB affects the lungs and is infectious in its point of origin.
In that case, it shouldn't but don't be surprised.
There' s not much investigation in this field because
there's not much money to be made.

if it is cured the child would have a natural immunity from it. however it is best to ask a doctor as we well meaning folks can get things wrong from time to time.

Tuberculosis is a chronic, progressive infection with a period of latency following initial infection. It occurs most commonly in the lungs. Pulmonary symptoms include productive cough, chest pain, and dyspnea. Diagnosis is by sputum culture and smear. Treatment is with multiple antimicrobial agents.
Tuberculosis can be acquired in the perinatal period. Symptoms and signs are nonspecific. Diagnosis is by culture and perhaps x-ray and biopsy. Treatment is with antituberculous drugs.
Infants may acquire tuberculosis (TB) by transplacental spread through the umbilical vein to the fetal liver, by aspiration or ingestion of infected amniotic fluid, or via airborne inoculation from close contacts (family members or nursery personnel). About 50% of children born to mothers with active pulmonary TB develop the disease during the 1st year of life if chemoprophylaxis or BCG vaccine is not given.
Please see the web pages for more details on Tuberculosis.
