where caniget a tb test

You can usually get a TB (tuberculosis) test at several common places; most people use whichever is cheapest and easiest to reach.

Fast answer: where to go

Most areas offer TB tests at:

  • Urgent care or walk‑in clinics (often same‑day, evenings and weekends).
  • Pharmacy clinics (like in‑store “MinuteClinic”‑style services at big chain pharmacies).
  • Your regular doctor or primary‑care clinic.
  • Local public health department or TB control office (sometimes free or low‑cost).
  • Hospital outpatient labs or independent labs (Labcorp/Quest and similar).
  • Student or employee health centers if you are in school, college, or certain workplaces.

If you type “TB test near me” or “TB test + your city” into a map/app or a health‑booking site (like Solv, CVS/MinuteClinic, Walgreens, etc.), you’ll usually see nearby options with hours and prices listed.

Quick notes before you go

  • Many places want you to book an appointment online first (especially pharmacy clinics and some urgent cares).
  • Ask whether they do a skin test (PPD/Mantoux) , a blood test (IGRA) , or both, and which one your school/job requires.
  • If cost is an issue, call your county or city health department and ask about free or low‑cost TB testing clinics.
