(2) Tuberculosis services
For purposes of paragraph (1), the term “tuberculosis services”, with respect to an individual, means—
(A) counseling the individual with respect to tuberculosis;
(B) testing to determine whether the individual has contracted such disease and testing to determine the form of treatment for the disease that is appropriate for the individual; and
(C) providing such treatment to the individual.

(B) The Secretary shall waive the requirement established in subparagraph (A) if the State involved certifies to the Secretary that—
(i) there is insufficient demand in the State to carry out a project under paragraph (1) in any rural area of the State; or
