I have had a roomate for 6 months. We are roommates, nothing else. He told me that when he was in the military he was pronounced a TB carrier. He also lied and told me that his TB could only be passed on if he was intimate and the woman got pregnant. I since have looked up TB information and am terrorfied now that I can catch TB as this man coughs all the time in my home. His coughing is awful and I thought it was due to his smoking.

He is planning on moving out of my house by the end of the month, what can I do to disinfect my home, the bathroom he used, the carpeting in his bedroom..etc. Did he lie to me about his TB or is it true that there are some who can carry it and not give it airborne? Please write me privately, I am seldom on the internet, thank you.
