TB Testing

The Berkeley Free Clinic offers free, confidential TB skin tests (PPDs) every day except Sunday.  TB testing is by appointment only, and appointments can be made as follows:

  • Monday-Friday: Homeless clients can call beginning at 5:30pm, non-homeless clients can call at 5:45pm.  All appointments are same-evening and will be sometime between 7 & 9pm.
  • Saturdays: Call at 1pm for a same-afternoon appointment.

Note that in order to complete the TB test, you will need to return to the Berkeley Free Clinic 48-72 hours later.  Please refer to the following chart and make sure you will be able to come back at the appropriate time before calling to schedule your test.  Your follow up appointment will be scheduled when you come in for your initial visit.
