Use this service to get a latent TB infection test.
When people talk about TB, they tend to mean active TB. If you have active TB, the bacteria are making you ill and you might be passing TB on to other people. Active TB can be very harmful to your health, but it can be cured with a course of medicine.
If you have latent TB, the TB bacteria in your body are ‘asleep’. You are not ill and you cannot pass TB on to others. However, the bacteria might ‘wake up’ in the future, making you ill with active TB. The good news is that latent TB can be treated to prevent this happening.
If you are eligible then we can perform a simple blood test to understand if you have got Latent TB. If the results show that you have got Latent TB, then you will be referred to the specialist TB team to review the best course of treatment.
