  TB Contact Testing Plan - Student Health Center
  During the week of April 26, the Student Health Center will be contacting members of the Fairfield University community who have been identified as having potential for exposure to Tuberculosis. These contacts will be required to have a test for such exposure. Testing will be held on Monday, May 3 and Tuesday, May 4 in the Student Health Center. Times are to be announced. The simple skin test, called a PPD, takes only a few minutes, however the site must be checked by the Health Center staff for a reaction after 48 hours. The staff will be available on Wednesday, May 5 and Thursday, May 7 to evaluate the skin tests. Any person who has previously had a positive PPD will be tested using a blood test. Testing may be performed by a private healthcare provider. Forms to document testing not performed in the Health Center will be available.
