Tuberculosis (TB) Program

Please wait while we redirect you to the right page...

 

Working to end TB in Fairfax County.

As long as TB exists in the world, TB will be present in Fairfax County.

Contact: 703-246-2433, TTY 711 or email hdcd@fairfaxcounty.gov.

How to Help

If you are at risk for TB infection, get tested. And if you experience symptoms, see a health care provider right away. TB can be prevented and cured. 

The TB team provides testing to identify people with Latent TB infection, provides laboratory and x-ray diagnostic services to those individuals suspected of having TB disease, and offers treatment to prevent and cure active TB disease. Screening for TB infection and providing treatment to prevent progression to active disease are important in the ultimate elimination of TB. Screening programs target those most at risk.

Local Stories

When people become sick with TB here in Fairfax County, it’s our job to evaluate them and to treat them. We have a whole team of people who work together to evaluate TB and treat active disease.

—Dr. Barbara Andrino, Tuberculosis Physician

Dr. Barbara Andrino

There was a lot of smoking in my country and when people would cough up blood, we would think it was lung cancer. Then, I became educated and learned coughing can be a symptom of TB.

- Community member who participated in a Health Department focus group to collect data on TB perceptions
