Very much so and definitely. Actually, it is normally transmitted through contact with infected blood as you tend to start coughing up blood. They will always test for it before allowing it to be used for transfusions, so don't worry about that. It is also curable, so an infected person may be able to give blood once again once it is out of their system. Not sure what your situation is whither you have it or are receiving blood, but hope that helps you either way
