If you have been recently exposed, you will not be infectious for some time, if you become infectious at all. The bacteria will take a long time to grow and cause disease, and you're only infectious when you start coughing bacteria into the air. Depending on how recently you've been exposed, the test may not yet be positive if you're infected, so you can go to work, and follow up with your doctor, who will be able to tell you if and when you should limit contact with other people.
