I agree it's their problem.
Is there some reason you feel your illness has to be disclosed? It's no one's business but yours and your healthcare provider. You are not obligated to tell anyone, including your employers. There's nothing wrong with establishing healthy boundaries to protect yourself and they'll go looking for easier victims.
