I'm a gay male, have occasional unprotected oral sex, only protected anal sex (and not receiving), and I don't really come in contact with semen.
So that being said, two days ago I started to feel weak and had a minor sore throat. Throughout the day I got more fatigued and finally went home from work. When I got home, I started to develop a fever and chills (101-102). This lasted for about 12-14 hours before it finally "broke" and I sweated up the bed while sleeping.
I had taken tylenol a few times that night so I am sure that helped. I went to a minute clinic and they tested me negative for strep and flu.
Now since the fever broke, my sore throat has gotten better. I've got a minor headache but no other upper respiratory symptoms that I can discern. The only concerning thing is the past 2 nights I've had night sweats.
So my questions are:
1) would an ARS fever last only that long and break so suddenly?
2) I have no rash and no swollen lymph nodes, are those pretty common with those in acute infection?
