I was exposed to TB and I had to take a TB test which means they give you a shot in you wrist and wait 3 days if the area is red they measure it if it is a 3 or more they give you a chest x ray and you have to take INH for a whole year and never have another TB test again.

Have a TB tine test. they are available at your MD's office, Clinic etc. Somethimes if you work for a big company the corporate health nurse has them. Within three days of the skin test you will know if you have acquired TB, then a confirmation x-ray will be done. Then RX is available, don't wait for symptoms (chest conj, cough etc) that is late stage.

There is a simple test they can do to see if you have been exposed and/or affected by it. Go to a medical clinic or your doctor. It is an easy test.
