If you’re starting a new job, going to school, or working in healthcare, a TB test may be required to ensure you’re not carrying tuberculosis. TB (tuberculosis) is a serious lung infection, and early testing helps protect your health and the people around you. The test is quick, simple, and gives you peace of mind—especially if you’re around others in close settings.
This process checks if you’ve been exposed to the TB bacteria and whether your body has reacted to it. It’s safe, fast, and commonly required for work, school, or immigration.
