it is very hard to catch it, someone would have to take their mucus from the sinus and olace it in your sinus cavity. (which lets face it, who would do something like that) Then it is not certain you would catch it if your immune response system is strong, so even though you are exposed to it, you wpuldnt neccessarily catch it
