    Why get tested

    Getting tested and treated for TB can protect yourself, your family and friends, and your community.

    You may need a TB test if you have:

    • Symptoms of TB disease
    • Spent time with someone who has active TB disease
    • Factors that put you at higher risk of developing active TB disease
    • Employment, school, travel, or immigration health screening requirements

    You may need a TB test even if you do not feel sick.

    TB germs can live in your body for years without making you feel sick. This is called inactive TB. People with inactive TB do not feel sick and cannot spread TB germs to others.
