Data in Tables 14-15 are based on the following analyses:
- Proportion of patients in SHDC receiving a TST before or during 1998.
- Among patients interviewed in SHAS in 1999, proportion with no prior history of TB and no prior positive TST who received a TST.
- Among newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients in MOPTB ever receiving a TST after HIV diagnosis.

*The SHAS total contains 34 patients with unknown race/ethnicity. The MOPTB total contains 21 patients with unknown race/ethnicity. |
- Similar proportions of patients by race/ethnicity received a TST across all data sources.
- Differences in the populations represented by the samples at the 3 SHDC sites may account for the difference in receipt of TST (see
Technical Notes). Providers at Sites A and B may provide more HIV-related care and are therefore more likely to provide a TST compared with providers not in or near metropolitan areas at Site C.
- Results for racial and ethnic groups with small numerators and/or denominators should be interpreted with caution.
- Proportions are not presented for Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaska Natives in SHDC because of small numbers of cases.
- Proportions are not presented for Asian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaska Natives in MOPTB because of small numbers of cases.
