A colleague at the office has been diagnosed with tb, she started treatment yesterday. i have no symptoms at all, should i go for any tests?

What kind of TB?: If she is taking several medications for TB other than Isoniazid and pyridoxine, then it would be important to be tested since exposure to active TB puts you at risk of contracting it. A TB skin test or a blood test can be done to determine if you were infected. However, if she is being treated for latent tb, then you don't need to be tested.
