    Give your primary carer a call, it can have risks for you, specially with 2 people close to you with the illness. Your boss is a good man for telling you very soon after the diagnosis.

    Yes I would tell them asap also you need to be tested via blood test or swab. This went through my office when I was 10 weeks pregnant with my first child, I ended up being postive with it also and ended up having to work from home for 4 weeks. 2 weeks of that I was contagious but the last two weeks I was so sick I couldnt hardly move. Please please get tested as its highly possible you are positive with it, no one next to me in the office had it but someone on the other floor had it and thats how I got it.

    Thanks ladies.

    I just rang my midwife and I have to have a blood test to check my antibodies and also need to start a course of anti-biotics as a precaution.
