STDs in the workplace

2018-04-07 14:45:43
I just found out that a co-worker of mine contracted herpes and syphilis. He works all over our store but mainly he works as the cook. I have eaten things after he has cooked them and I have shared cigarettes with him as have many of my other co-workers. Should I be concerned?
