Okay, I got my results for it and it was positive. They said I would have to get a chest xray but that I won't ever get a test again since it will stay on my permanent record as positive. I don't know if I'll be able to go even if I go the xray. and if I get it today it would take a week to get results back and I leave this sunday. I don't know what to do and this has got me and my mother really upset, she didn't want me to take it in the first place and I had doubts too, I feel stupid. What do I DO?!

If u didn't get one u can still go but u won't be allowed in some hospitals and clinics. I got home from taking the xray and they said results will be in in 24 hours, so my mom has to get it from the health department since we won't get it from the hospital itself, which I couldn't understand at first lol

Well I am clear of tb thank goodness hehe. So about the paperwork, when I give them my immunization form, do I have to give them the info on the chest xray so they know I don't have tb? And will they let me in still once they know that?

Hey,
I would bring it all and show them that and they should still let you go if they know that you don't have tb.
