- Hello
-
- Hope someone can help me with this question.
-
- A few weeks ago, a friend told me that his girlfriend (who lives with
- him) had been diagnosed with "borderline tuberculosis."
-
- First, I've never heard of anyone being "borderline" with this disease.
- Is that possible?
-
- Second, since he told me this, I've been hesitant to visit them. I'm
- running out of excuses why I can't come over. Is it as contagious as
- I think it is. Am I being overly cautious by not visiting there?
-
- Third, there is a party coming up soon at which that couple will be a
- guest. I'm having second thoughts about attending it because of them.
- Do I have reason to be concerned?
-
- Thank you.
