Tuberculosis can be cured but it involves a very long course of antibiotics (about 6 to nine months). Depending on what type of TB your friend has, he will be infectious for two or three weeks after he starts treatment, so he will need to take proper precautions so that his friends and family don't become infected.
TB was a very serious and common disease before the early 20th Century. Before the advent of suitable antibiotics, the treatment was to be isolated in special hospitals and patients were exposed to fresh air and sunshine as much as possible. TB hospitals were designed so that the wards faced south and large doors allowed the patients to be in the open air as much as possible.

@Owlwings given a detailed reply. I knew one person who was cured completely from the disease. But she was not in a danger stage still she took medicine for 6 months.
Your friend will be alright by taking medicine regularly and following the advises strictly from doctor.

In our country free medicine are provided by the government for the disease tuberculosis called DOT and at the same time doctor advice to consume healthy food along with the medicine.. If the patient follow as doctor advised then undoubtedly he/she could be cure within 6 months
