It is possible. They can be infective for around one, maybe two days prior to the onset of their symptoms. Be on guard at all times to follow the safety precautions and avoid contact with potential for catching the flu. This is why handwashing whether you believe you have been exposed or not is so very important for prevention.

You were exposed to a person a week before they died from swine flu a week ago Do you need to be concerned that you may have it?
If you were exposed, and have not developed symptoms yet. Then you are fine. As soon as your symptoms occur, seek medical treatment and let the doctors know about the exposure.

If you are around a person who is not exhibiting flu symptoms but comes down with swine flu 3-4 days later are you exposed to swine flu?
A person can be contagious with a virus like the flu for a day or two before they even notice their own symptoms. So if you are around them during that time frame and in close or direct contact with them, the potential exists for you to come down with the flu.
My friend was in my company last night for a couple of hours however she phoned me today to say that her son has been diagnosed with Swine Flu. What are the chances of me developing Swine Flu?
If she herself did not get the swine flu the next day then you were not exposed through her. It is mostly infectious the day before you have symptoms and up to 7 days after all the symptoms are gone, especially the cough. Stay away from her and her family for 14 days to make sure no one else is going to get it.
