Yes, yes, yes! You should see your doctor right away and get tested. The doctor will then either treat you or give you a shot to immunize you. Tuberculosis is generally seen in people whose immune system is down, due to other illnesses, poor general health or exhaustion. If you are healthy and not run down, you have a good chance. But see your doctor anyway. (And never take ANYONE'S word for it when they say they're not infectious with anything, unless they can get a doctor's note.) Hope this helps
