<s>[INST] If I have TB can I infect other people with TB? [/INST] Yes, you can infect others if your sputum samples show that you are infectious.
When you are infectious the doctor and nurse will order you to stay home and not be around others.
You should stay home until the nurse tells you it is safe for you to go back to work or any other public place. Source: SCDHEC. Link: https://scdhec.gov/health/diseases-conditions/tuberculosis/tuberculosis-faqs. Field: Lung Disease. Disease: Tuberculosis </s>
