He should be quarantined.

There is a vast difference between TB and HIV. You can basically prevent the spread of HIV and protect yourself by not exchanging body fluids with an infected person. Something that can't be done if this person spreading his TB arround when he is sat opposite you on the bus and sneezes.

But what about Christian Sciientists, who regualrly die and let their children die rather than have certain medical treatment such as blood tranfusions or transplants? Should we enforce medical treatment on these people as well as TB sufferers?
