I had my first tb test since grade school 2 weeks ago( Miami has the largest
tb rate in the nation due to immigration from poor countries). No reaction
whatsoever in the 48-72 hours expected. Two weeks later!!! I got the bump
which looked like a mosquito bite and called my HIV specialist. Not to worry
unless the bump got to the size of an inch in diameter AND yes, it can take
that much time for an immuno compromised person to have a reaction. Ya can't
diagnose us on the same basis as everyone else! Our immune systems don't
recognize that they have been invaded sometimes.
