You will know if you have the flu by it's icky symptoms including cough and fever. If you are trying to find out if you had the seasonal flu or Swine Flu the only way to find out is thru lab tests. These need to be done while you are showing symptoms, but Im sure if you insisted and had the money to spend you could have lab tests run to see if you now have antibodies to the swine flu.

I don't think you can pass it on after you are over it, but like most things there is a time before you come down with it that it can be passed on.

Will a flu vaccine help after being exposed to it?

Unless you have specific lab tests to identify the exact strain of the flu to which you were exposed, you would be better off to get the shot than assume you don't need the shot and risk getting exposed to it later. A better treatment for prevention of flu after exposure and/or reduction in severity and duration of symptoms, could be Tamiflu. Check with your health care professional if you think you have been exposed, to be most effective, the anti-viral medicines should be taken in the first 40 hours after exposure.
