Rub your finger over the spot where they gave you the TB test. If it is smooth with no bumps or redness then the test will most likely be negative. If you feel bumps with some redness then it might be positive.

A lot of people show that they've been exposed to TB. TB mainly hits people with compromised immune systems in developing countries. Someone healthy from the US can be near someone who has TB, the skin test will show exposure, but that person wont contract it. I wouldnt worry about it.

a positive TB test results in a large red raised area that itches like crazy. your test sounds negative.
