I think I have a positive tb test?

I had a tb test at about 10:30 this morning and now the test site is red.

Radish test site means a little extravasation of blood. This is a bruise-like lesion that will go away. If the red area continues after four to five days, please go to your Dr. to check it out. But generally is nothing serious.
Sometimes the tb test can be positive for other reasons, just go to your doctor and ask for a chest X ray

No you have to wait 48 hours to read and it should be firm and raised and a certain size. A licensed medical provider should read it for you at the appropriate time.
Report to clinic where you had tb test done.
