TB Gold Quantiferon Blood Test Mesa

Service Description

Need a one-visit TB test? Walk in for a QuantiFERON blood draw in Mesa today. About This Test This FDA-approved blood test checks whether you've been exposed to tuberculosis, without the second visit a skin test requires. Three advantages over a skin test: it's one visit — no coming back 48 to 72 hours later for a reading; the result is a clear positive or negative, not a judgment call on how your skin reacted; and it isn't thrown off by a prior BCG vaccine, so if you were vaccinated for TB in another country, this test won't give you a false positive. Keep in mind: a positive result can reflect either latent or active TB — the test can't tell the two apart, so any positive result should be reviewed with your doctor even if you feel completely fine. Who This Test Is For • Anyone who wants TB clearance in one visit instead of two • Individuals who received the BCG vaccine and want to avoid a false-positive skin test • Healthcare workers, students, and new hires meeting employer or school TB requirements • Anyone told a skin test isn't the right option for them What to Expect & Preparation Preparation: No special preparation needed. Your Lab Visit: A standard blood draw, about 15 minutes — no second trip required. Monday–Friday, 7 AM–5 PM. Walk in with no appointment needed. Turnaround Time: Your official documentation — accepted by employers, schools, and programs — is provided once results are back, typically within 2–5 business days. Note on Turnaround Times: Processing times are estimates and not guaranteed. Reference laboratories may require extra time for confirmatory testing, sample re-runs, holidays, or unexpected equipment delays.
