About All About Tuberculosis
All About Tuberculosis is an independent tuberculosis (TB) information website. It answers the questions patients, families and the public ask about TB. Every page is written plainly and cited to CDC, WHO and peer-reviewed sources.
What All About Tuberculosis is
Our aim is simple: every tuberculosis question, answered plainly. The site covers what TB is, how it spreads, and how it is tested and diagnosed. It goes on to how TB is treated and cured, how it is prevented, and how people live with it. We write for readers in the United States. US agencies, US costs and US providers come first.
The site is for patients, families, carers and anyone curious about TB. It is not written for clinicians, and it gives no care.
Who is behind it
All About Tuberculosis was founded by Ali Hassan Mahay, who owns and runs it on his own. There is no company behind the site and no staff. Ali is an SEO and researcher from Pakistan. His work includes websites for healthcare businesses, such as primary care clinics and independent pharmacies.
Ali is not a clinician. He holds no medical or clinical qualification, and the site never claims one. His full background is on the Ali Hassan Mahay author page.

Founder and editor. Researches, fact-checks and edits every page. SEO and health researcher; not a clinician.
Who writes and who checks
Every page carries the same byline: "By All About Tuberculosis. Researched, fact-checked and edited by Ali Hassan Mahay." Drafts are prepared with AI assistance from a research brief. Ali then checks each draft against its sources and edits it before it goes live. A page he has not checked is not published.
No doctor or other clinician reviews our pages. We say so here rather than imply a review that does not happen.
How we write about tuberculosis
At All About Tuberculosis we take every medical claim from a named source. These include CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA drug labels, NIH and peer-reviewed journals. Each page lists its sources with their dates, and figures appear as the source states them. The full method is in our editorial policy.
When we find an error, or a reader reports one, we fix the page and change its last updated date.
How the site is funded
The site is meant to be paid for by display advertising. Nothing is sold here, and we collect no leads. Advertisers do not decide what any page says. Ads are switched off at launch.
What this site is not
This site is not a substitute for a doctor. Our pages help you understand tuberculosis, and they cannot diagnose or treat you. Your own doctor and your local health department are the places to go for TB care. The medical disclaimer explains where to find a TB program near you.
