Yes, all staff members, volunteers, and interns must have a TB test upon employment and annually thereafter. In addition, each agency must establish policies and procedures to ensure the proper documentation of this testing. The purpose, of course, is to reduce the spread of TB by identifying and treating those with active (infectious) TB. These measures are particularly important when treating individuals for substance abuse/addiction. Due to suppressed immunity, research indicates that those with a history of substance abuse are at significantly increased risk to 1.) become infected, 2.) exhibit more severe symptoms (cough, weakness/fatigue, chills, fever), and 3.) respond poorly to treatments. For this reason, staff members that have active TB must be restricted from employment until it is determined by laboratory evaluation that the TB is non-infectious. For more information please reference IDAPA Code 16.07.20.210.01.k
