yes for sure to the first, and i'm pretty sure yes for the second, if that's the thing where they inject it under your skin and check it a few days later to see if there's a bump there. it was years ago, though...
uh, well, i would probably be more helpful if it had turned out i actually had TB (although I don't regret not having it that much :) ), but for the x-ray i just had to stand in front of this one blank white plate, and they x-ray you from behind.
and for the skin test they just inject a small amount of tuburculin under the skin of your inner forearm (because the skin is the most sensitive there, i guess) and you go away and come back in a few days (48 hours, i think) to see if there's a bump there. it's okay if it's just red, but a bump means you have some form of TB.
