“2 STEP PPD” FAQ
WHAT IS A PPD?
IT IS A TB TEST. YOU GET A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOLUTION INJECTED WITH A TINY NEEDLE JUST UNDER THE SKIN OF THE INSIDE OF YOUR FOREARM. IT NEEDS TO BE READ IN 48-72 HOURS, OR 1 WEEK LATER IN A 2-STEP PPD. IF THE AREA IS RED OR RAISED (INDURATED) IT MAYBE CONSIDERED A POSITIVE PPD. THIS DOES NOT USUALLY MEAN YOU HAVE TB, BUT YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS A FALSE POSITIVE READING.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A 2 STEP PPD?
THIS MEANS YOU HAVE A PPD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THEN THE DAY IT IS READ YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME BACK IN 1-2 WEEKS FOR ANOTHER (2nd) PPD, WHICH NEEDS TO BE READ 48-72 HOURS AFTER THAT ONE IS PLACED. AGAIN NO EXCEPTIONS ON THE TIME LINE.
MY DOCTOR SAID I ONLY NEED ONE!
THE COLLEGE AND THE HOSPITALS REQUIRE A 2 STEP PPD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
WHERE CAN I GET THE 2 STEP PPD’s DONE?
FREE AT STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES, BOTTOM FLOOR OF THE RACE BUILDING, BUT YOU DO NEED TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS, YOU CAN’T JUST DROP IN. YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THIS DONE AT YOUR DOCTOR’S.
WHY DO I NEED THE 2 STEP PPD DONE BEFORE I HAVE THE MMR?
IF YOU HAVE THE MMR SHOT FIRST IT CAN CAUSE A FALSE POSITIVE PPD. THE 2 PPD’S NEED TO BE DONE 1st.
