I have been asked to get a TB Test for a job. Not sure if this is something that will harm me. Any input or thoughts would be very much appreciated. An email has been sent to Boaz also. Thanks in advance!

FYI...Boaz just emailed me and said to ask for an x-ray instead of the skin test.

There is a blood test they can do instead of the TB test. My work would not accept a dr's note or chest x-Ray. I would ask your work before getting the x-ray

I told my hospital that I could not get tested due to a health condition and that I could provide them w a doctors note. They didnt even want the drs note. They just let me pass for this yr. Or you could lie and say you are on steroids for a health condition bc a TB skin test is contrandicated in people that are on oral steroids. It depends how strict you think your job is.
