How Can I Be Tested For Tb? |
|
Answer» You can get a TB SKIN test or blood test at a LOCAL health clinic or your doctor's office. The tests are QUICK and simple, and give results in only a few days. A blood test is the preferred test and is more specific than a skin test. A skin test can require two to four visits WHEREAS the blood test can be performed with a single visit. (TB skin tests are typically not GIVEN on Thursdays because of the required time-frame for the follow-up visit.)
