she would still be my friend, I would care for her just like before and want to help in anyway that I could. I would not be scared of her for her illness. I would want to be informed about the disease and what I would need to stay safe from catching it yet my friendship would not changed just because she got sick. In these times your friendship is put to the test will you stand by her in this hard time or will you leave? this is when you know who your true friends are.

No. She would not be in school if she were a threat to any ones health. It is not unusual to know at least one person who has TB. My youngest daughter tested positive a couple of years ago. She probably contracted it in school. Where we live there is a transient population. People who come here from Central and South America who often test positive. In their countries they are not surprised to have it. Once some one has been treated they are not a threat.

anyone can contract TB, it is an airborne disease. I would only be concerned that she was recieving treatment, she can't come to school in a contagious state, so that should not be a concern for you. It's like worrying about someone that gets the measles, it isn't their fault, it just needs to be treated and forgotten.

She should stay home until she's no longer contagious. I wouldn't be scared of her as I wouldn't feel at risk for TB from her. It's really very treatable, unless of course you get the multi-drug resistant form.

did you get infected yourself?
tb is just like any other disease, there is nothing wrong with that person, s/he just got infected unfortunatly, she didn't anything wrong to deserve the disease
treat her like just any regular person

As long as she's being treated, not a problem. Otherwise, I'd avoid her.
