How is Tuberculosis Transmitted

Question

How is tuberculosis transmitted?
A) by sexual contact
B) by contaminated food
C) by sneezes
D) by infected blood products

Accepted Answer

Tuberculosis is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing tiny droplets containing the bacteria into the air. This means that being in close contact with a person infected with tuberculosis can increase your risk of getting the disease. It is not spread by sexual contact or contaminated food, and transmission through infected blood products is rare due to screening measures.
