unprotect and anal

I also had an unprotected anal sex about 5 weeks ago.
I dont know his status.
four weeks later( about last Saturday), I started feeling unwell.
I feel headache first.
But later develop low grade fever with painful minor swelling of a lymph node under anterior right neck( not visible, just feeling slight swelling and pain) with minor sore throat.
The fever lasted for about only one day.
The fever relieved.Sore throat pain reduces.
But fever came again n relieve again.
No runny nose,no cough and no rash.
I thought I was well again.
But on last night i had a high fever with chills and sore throat again.
Now fever is not steady fall, disappear and appear again.
There are body pain, back, legs.
But chest pain is the worst.
Are they similar to ARS fever symptoms?
I know I need an antibody test at 12 week.
But I just wanna know my suffering symptoms are ARS or not.
Moreover, here in my town and my surroundings have flu persons, may be seasonal flu.
Please access my symptoms, experts.
Intermittent fever, chest pain.
kindly please answer me.

Please, let me ask you for the last time.
I want to clarify the facts.
I understand experts may be busy.
I know that ELISA and rapid tests have similar functions and accurancy.
But for my case, rapid tests results show weak positive whereas the ELISA showed non-reactive.

Some sites suggest that if a positive test is obtained in a rapid test, it should be confirmed by another type/brand of rapid test.Is it true?For me, if it is true, I tested and tested again by other brands and results were weak positive always. But When I tested with ELISA, a NON-REACTIVE result came.I want to know whether all rapid tests showed false positive or ELISA was not as effective as rapid ones to detect antibodies at the same time?

In a post answered by doctors here( I searched from search box),

and again
