What should I do if I've been exposed to TB?

Employees exposed to active TB should:

  • Contact UAB Employee Health at 205-934-3675 to see if they need a baseline skin test. 
  • Follow-up testing should be done 10-12 weeks after exposure.
  • The TB rate in the community is very low...
  • If you have questions or would like a TB screen at any time for any reason email employeehealth@uabmc.edu.
