confused

Very worried
I got a piercing dude used a earring straight from a cassette so to my understanding its sterile my peircing never bled ..
8 day's later I have a lot of mucus and the follwoin evening I have a mild fever which resulted in two spots one on my leg which was quite painful an another on my arm which was more like a boil
And throughout the three weeks my symptoms consisted of joint pain, sneezing, cough, swollen glands, blocked ears, sweating but not nightsweat, spot appearing on my neck then to disappear an reappear elswere on my neck, white stuff on my toungue.. btw im still a virgin.
This is driving me insane like Im on the verge of commiting suicide .. my question is does this sound like ARS, should I get tested,

No it doesn't sound like ARS, because you never had an exposure.
