We sought to describe the history of tuberculosis disease and tuberculin skin testing among the New York City House Ballroom community\u2014a social network of diverse sexual and gender identities or expressions. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. Members of the House Ballroom community were convenience sampled, surveyed, and tested for HIV in 2004. We identified characteristics associated with history of tuberculosis, tuberculin skin testing, and test positivity and described the timing of skin testing. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Of 504 participants, 1.4% (n=7) reported a history of tuberculosis and 81.1% (n=404 of 498) had received a tuberculin skin test. Of those tested, 16 (4%) had positive results, which indicated latent infection, and 68% had received a test in the 2 years prior to the survey. Participants with health insurance were more likely and those with little education were less likely to have received a skin test. HIV-infected participants (16%) were not more likely to have received a tuberculin skin test compared with non-HIV-infected individuals. Foreign-born participants and self-identified heterosexuals and bisexuals were more likely to have had positive skin tests. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Self-reported history of tuberculosis was high among the House Ballroom community. Although many community members had a recent skin test, further efforts should target services to those who are HIV infected, have low education, lack health insurance, or are foreign born. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2006.096123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,30]],"date-time":"2007-11-30T02:14:24Z","timestamp":1196388864000},"page":"1068-1073","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Self-Reported Tuberculosis Disease and Tuberculin Skin Testing in the New York City House Ballroom Community"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Suzanne M.","family":"Marks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzanne M.
