Why was Tuberculosis associated largely with Prostitutes in the 19th Century


Why was Tuberculosis associated largely with Prostitutes in the 19th Century?
So, apparently, TB was largely associated with prostitution in the 1800s, and those who were not prostitutes were accused of being them. Why was this? Was it because they stayed out in the cold and city streets, so their lungs became infected?
