The Tuberculosis (TB) Clinic is a comfortable, friendly and confidential place to receive tuberculosis testing and treatment. Everyone on our team specializes in TB. We understand what it is like to have TB and how to help you complete treatment so you can protect yourself and your loved ones. Our mission is to ensure that every person in our community has the opportunity to be healthy and free from tuberculosis (TB). Testing services are offered on a walk-in basis. Get tested today!
For medical professionals, we also provide phone consultations and resources to help diagnose and treat people with latent TB infections, including patient referrals.
Walk-in TB Testing for employment, school, or immigration needs is available without an appointment. Testing is performed with a TB blood test (Quantiferon) and costs $95 on the day of testing. We do not directly bill insurance, but we can provide a receipt for you to request reimbursement from your insurance plan.
Testing can be completed Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Results are typically available in 3 to 5 days.
Please note that skin tests are no longer offered for routine TB screening. If you require a tuberculin skin test (PPD) please check with your primary care provider or a local urgent care clinic.
What is TB?
TB is a disease caused by germs that are spread between people through the air. It usually affects the lungs but may also affect other parts of the body, including the brain, kidneys or spine. It can be deadly if left untreated. Completing treatment is very important for people with TB and is provided for free at the Tuberculosis Clinic.
There are two stages of tuberculosis: latent and active. In latent TB infection the germs are sleeping so you will not feel sick and you cannot give TB to others. Active TB means the germs have 'woken up' and you have symptoms (cough, fever, weight loss, nigh sweats) and might be able to pass TB to the people you spend the most time with.
The best way to prevent the spread of TB is to be tested if you think you have been exposed and to be treated if you have tested positive.
You can learn more about TB, including tuberculosis symptoms, by visiting our TB fact page.

TB Clinic Leading Efforts to Eliminate TB in Colorado
Thousands of Colorado residents are infected with TB and at risk for getting sick. Most of these people have not been tested, so they do not know they are at risk, or that they could take medicine to protect themselves. In an effort to eliminate Tuberculosis in Colorado, the TB Clinic collaborated with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to develop a TB Elimination Plan.
