Yes. It does contain genetic material of Avian Flu in addition to three types of Swine Flu and also human flu viruses. (Avian flu is also called "Bird Flu"). When a virus mutates like this one did in pigs with five different genomes in the virus, it is called a quintuple reassortant (also known as reassortment) virus.

The three types of swine flu genetic material in the A-H1N1/09 pandemic flu are American swine flu, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu.

What is a novel influenza?

The word novel used in this context means new or unusual. The 2009 pandemic swine flu H1N1/09 was initially dubbed the Novel Influenza by the CDC as a means of identification in communications since it was a brand new and never before seen subtype of influenza unnamed at the time. So if someone refers to novel influenza, they are likely currently talking about H1N1/09 swine flu.

Can you heal Swine Flu or are you stuck with it for life?

The swine flu is a virus. Viruses cannot be cured by antibiotics, and can only be cured by your body creating antibodies and using white blood cells to fight of the infection. Vaccines are the only other option, which contain harmless forms of the virus in order for antibodies to be made and ready for a real disease. There is no current vaccine for the swine flu, however, which means you have to wait for your body to fight off the infection. In rare cases, death may occur, but you are definitely not stuck with swine flu.
