what was your exposure?


and you dont have any ARS symtoms..the flu like description you ask about is generally

sore throat
fever
feeling weak
maybe a rash
night sweats
enlarged lymph noodes

30% of ARS patients are asymptomatic with no visable signs, which is why they say not to judge on symptoms but trust me unless you have slept with 20 HIV pos woman, i doubt you are pos.
