TB Skin Testing

You should get tested for TB if:

You have spent time with a person known to have active TB disease or suspected to have active TB disease
You have HIV infection or another condition that puts you at high risk for active TB disease
You think you might have active TB disease
You are from a country where active TB disease is very common (most countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia)
You live somewhere in the United States where active TB disease is more common, such as a homeless shelter, migrant farm camp, prison or jail, and some nursing homes
You inject illegal drugs.

In Sedgwick County, you can have a TB skin test done at your doctor’s office or at the Sedgwick County Health Department, 2716 W. Central. No appointment is necessary. Testing is not done on Thursdays because the testing site on the arm needs to be seen 48 – 72 hours after the test is done. Many schools, health care providers, day care providers and residential care workers are required by employers to be tested for TB.
