Tuberculosis test, negative or positive??

Question

Does this look like a negative TB?? 😭 hoping it is!

Answer

Measure it.
5mm is positive if:
• you’ve had recent contact with someone with TB
• you are HIV-positive
• you have had an organ transplant
• you are taking immunosuppressants
• you have previously had TB
10mm is positive if:
• you recently immigrated from a country with a high incidence of TB
• you live in a high-risk environment
• you work in a hospital, medical laboratory, or other high-risk setting
• you’re a child under the age of 4
• you’ve used injected drugs
15mm is a definite positive.
Less than 5mm is negative.

Answer

I am a school bus driver and tested positive with my physical last year. Usually a raised bump that stays indicate a positive. It's not a death sentence.There isnt meds to take. Plus side is you wont have to take the test again.

Answer

Is there a bump? It has to have a bump to be positive

Answer

It's difficult to tell from the picture if it is raised. Redness doesn't indicate positive. Have it read in the timeframe given by an appropriate provider 🤷🏼‍♀️
