Hepatitis
Your liver helps your body digest food, store energy and remove poisons. Hepatitis is a swelling of the liver that makes it stop working well. It can lead to scarring, called cirrhosis, or to cancer.
Viruses cause most cases of hepatitis. The type of hepatitis is named for the virus that causes it; for example, hepatitis A, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Drug or alcohol use can also lead to hepatitis. In other cases, your body mistakenly attacks its own tissues. You can help prevent some viral forms by getting a vaccine. Sometimes hepatitis goes away by itself. If it does not, it can be treated with drugs. Sometimes hepatitis lasts a lifetime.
Some people who have hepatitis have no symptoms. Others may have
loss of appetite
nausea and vomiting
diarrhea
dark-colored urine and pale bowel movements
stomach pain
jaundice, yellowing of skin and eyes

If it is Hepatitis, this is a serious blood disease that can affect your liver and eventually kill you depending of which kind of hepatitis it is. I would go see a Doctor as soon as possible.
In the mean time, I wouldn't have sex or swap bodily fluids with anyone. There are a number of tests past a blood test but a full blood test will have a " liver panel" and that will give the information needed.
