Any Advice?? Thanks

Long story short, I had unprotected vaginal intercourse with my ex-girlfriend on Nov. 25, 2013  The next day I had a scratchy throat and it turned out to be the flu.  She just had an IUD implanted on Nov. 11, 2013 and I was the first person to have intercourse with her.  She said that they had to check her for STD's and they were all negative and that she receives a rapid test every three months because she is a public health worker.  They were all negative.  For the last week I still have had a scratchy throat and feeling exhausted, no fever, no swollen glands and have had a bad headache. I have had a loss in appetite as well.  I know that symptoms alone do not constitute a diagnosis so my question is does it sound like I may have had a risk or low risk?  I'm just worried.

It doesn't matter what tests she takes.
You need to test 12 weeks after your last exposure.

I'm going to take your advice, but does it sound like a high risk exposure at all? Do these sound at all like ARS? Thanks in advance!
