Is there a test to see if you've had West Nile virus years ago?

In 2007 was on a camping trip (in a swamp) in eastern Europe, where we always get eaten up by mosquitoes. (Though 100% DEET does have a good effect, we still get some bites.) The people there swore they didn't have West Nile, but recently we've found out that they do. I'd been out there for a little over a week when I suddenly came down with flu-like symptoms and am now wondering if it was West Nile.

    You can only test to see if you actually HAVE it, you can't test to see if you have been exposed to it:| Hope you're o.k.....
