Eastender........I presume that you mean PTB (Pulmonary Tuberculosis).........lung disease.
By treatment I presume you mean anti tuberculous chemotherapy.
If treatment has been finished and he is allowed out into the community, then his sputum will be negative for TB and hence he will not be infectious and no danger to you or the community. The wearing of a mask is unnecessary both for your or him.
No big deal.
