All personnel are required to have post-deployment PPD testing after returning from UN duty provided the last test was negative. As it usually takes four to six weeks for skin test conversion from negative to positive after contact with tuberculosis, it is recommended that the routine post-deployment PPD test be done six weeks after returning from duty.
