False because AIDS forms from HIV which weakens your immune system although since your immune system is weak you could easily get tuberculosis

Answer:

How is tuberculosis related to AIDS?

HIV weakens the immune system, increasing the risk of TB in people with HIV. Infection with both HIV and TB is called HIV/TB coinfection. Untreated latent TB infection is more likely to advance to TB disease in people with HIV than in people without HIV.
