No. As long as you aren't currently sick from it and have been on medication to eliminate it from your system. My sister had it and exposed me to it. They gave her some big ass horse pills to take. I was fortunate not to get it, but I was still exposed to it. They did chest x-rays and stuff on me and it all came clean. I told the recruiter all this and I was accepted into the AF no problems. They do the medical checkups at MEPS anyways and if there's any questions on something specific, they'll send you to a specialist to look deeper into it to see if it will. But TB is curable in every phase...so no worries. It's not like its AIDS or cancer. Even in the later stages, it's highly survivable
