I would of thought it was confidential, and so telling people would be breaking the law. If it wasn't agried to be confidential, i'd say it's wrong but theres nothing you can do about it.

1. You need to get the results of that test. They are your husband's medical records and it is his right to have that info.
2. His boss has NO right to be giving out your husband's medical information. That is protected under HIPAA. His boss is committing a crime.
3. If the test results are negative, his boss is guilty of slander or defamation of character. This is illegal. His boss is committing another crime.
4. You need to get in contact with his employer's insurance company to work out workman's comp and the like. It appears you will not be able to deal through the boss.

That is very confidential information and he should not be telling anybody anything but your husband about the test results. I would be calling the employer.
