Ok, my TB test results were negative.
Now, they want me to take it again within two weeks.
Why?
What is the solution that they put in the needle that goes under your skin? Is it the TB infection itself in a low dose?

There was absolutly no mark there where the needle was injected.
Just the first day, a tiny spot, then it disappeared. I am starting a new job at a hospital.

Most hospitals do 2 tests before you get to start work. its a standard of care. Joint commision I think requires it now...

I dont really understand why they would want u to get another one done, not unless they want to make sure....but they inject dead TB cells under your skin. Usually they will ask u to get another one in two weeks if it was positive...

They are just looking out for your welfare and the patients at the hospital. I would rather have another test as to pass it on to others.
