In addition to the physical side effects, contracting tuberculosis in Indonesia also means living with a social stigma, according to a story from IRIN News:
"When I was told I had TB, I felt ashamed," Dini Kusumawadini, 28, who makes a living growing ornamental plants, told IRIN. "But after undergoing treatment, I wanted to share my experience and motivate people with TB so that they could recover."
