A member asked:

Is there any other known sti that can cause severe flu-like symptoms besides hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Acute syphilis can create virtually any syndrome (known as the great masquerader). Gonorrhea, if systemic can do this. There are several other remote possibilities, but the best thing you can do is to go and see an infectious diseases expert and be tested and examined. Good luck.
