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.
