FAQ

Some countries, like Canada, may require 2-step TST as proof of testing. This is because a person's TST reaction may become less sensitive over time, leading to a false negative on the first test. The benefit of conducting 2-step TST is that the first test can stimulate the immune response, making the second test more accurate.

To ensure accurate TB skin test results, you can have the test and live vaccine on the same day, or do the test 28 days after receiving the live vaccine.

A positive TB test result means you have been infected with TB bacteria, but it does not confirm active TB disease. If the result is positive, you may need a chest x-ray and a consultation with a doctor to rule out active TB disease. A negative result indicates that you are less likely to have TB.
