How do I treat campolybacter infection

The ER Dr said they rarely see campolybacter infection but when they do, they are usually from undercooked poultry. He was in the hospital 5 days and has a hard time regaining his strength and emotions are raw because he doesn't feel good. So I can't tell whether he would tell me to get rid of them once his mood improves.... Or am I selfish for wanting to keep my little pretty
 
I did call a vet now and he says it can be easily transmitted and it would probably be about $20 each to get each chick tested. I have six 8-week old chicks, I already rehomed 4- I was supposed to have all pullets and they started crowing 2 weeks ago so I had to get rid of them. I think I still have 2 more roosters, just not crowing yet. I don't have any other pets. Also he doesn't do anything with the chickens, I do everything but his friend convinced him he got it through me. I also have a lower immune system, crohns and kidney disease and I didn't get sick at all. But unlike him, I will not eat undercooked meats. He can't eat fresh fruits and veggies but I do.
If he chooses to eat undercooked foods he is putting himself at risk - does he know this? If he does and is not willing to change habits then I don't think he can complain too much. Sell the husband, keep the chicks ;)
