I was exposed to it 2 years ago but it's never been active. I'm guessing I can't donate blood though? Also, if I were to have kids, would it be passed on to them as well, since we'd be sharing blood?

Current recommendations for potential volunteer blood donors with TB exposure are as follows: "Defer for active infection until cease medications and well or one year from diagnosis, which ever is longest. Accept, if exposure and on anti-tubercular drugs if medication is on medication list and neg. chest x-ray. Accept if donor had positive skin test and negative chest x-ray." Speak with the Medical Director for local blood center for specific eligibility guidelines. They may require medical clearance before accepting you as a donor
