4.

TB can be transmitted from person to person through touching or sharing plates/cups?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation

It is primarily transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing bacteria-containing droplets into the air. It is not transmitted through touching or sharing plates/cups. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

5.

TB can be transmitted through singing?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When an infected person sings, they can release respiratory droplets into the air, which may contain the bacteria. If someone inhales these droplets, they can become infected with TB. Therefore, it is possible for TB to be transmitted through singing.

Rate this question:
6.

Tuberculosis only affects the lungs.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Tuberculosis does not only affect the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body such as the kidneys, spine, and brain. It is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can spread through the bloodstream to various organs. Therefore, the statement that tuberculosis only affects the lungs is incorrect.

7.

Some people are more likely than others to develop TB disease once they have been infected?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
It is true that some people are more likely than others to develop TB disease once they have been infected. Factors such as a weakened immune system, living in crowded or unsanitary conditions, and certain medical conditions (such as HIV/AIDS) can increase the risk of developing active TB disease. Additionally, individuals who have recently been infected with TB bacteria are more likely to develop active disease compared to those who have been infected for a longer period of time.

Rate this question:
8.

Everyone who is infected with tuberculosis will eventually fall sick and die without treatment?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Not everyone who is infected with tuberculosis will eventually fall sick and die without treatment. While tuberculosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease, not all infected individuals will develop active tuberculosis. In fact, many people have latent tuberculosis infection, which means the bacteria are present in their body but are not causing any symptoms or illness. With proper treatment, latent tuberculosis can be effectively treated and prevented from progressing to active tuberculosis. Therefore, it is not true that all individuals infected with tuberculosis will inevitably become sick and die without treatment.

Tuberculosis is preventable and curable for people living with HIV?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Tuberculosis is preventable and curable for people living with HIV. This is because people with HIV have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to developing tuberculosis. However, with proper prevention measures such as early detection, regular screenings, and prompt treatment, tuberculosis can be prevented in individuals living with HIV. Additionally, tuberculosis can be cured through a combination of antibiotics and antiretroviral therapy, which helps to strengthen the immune system and fight off the infection. Therefore, it is true that tuberculosis is preventable and curable for people living with HIV.
