My spouse was given antibiotics, do I need to be tested?

Question

My spouse took the double antibiotic therapy in one dose, and had been tested at the same time. I would like to know why the doctor put him on treatment right away and whether this is part of the follow-up of previous infections or because he suspected a recent contact? Is the contact recent or could it be a follow-up of a probable old infection from 2007? Should I be tested as well? Thank you for the answer, I would like to know if I should get tested or not
