The swine flu is as contagious as the regular flu. Just like having a cold or influenza, do not share straws, wash your hands, don't kiss or come into close contact with someone with swine flu, don't share glasses with someone with swine flu, etc. Also, you cannot get swine flu from pigs or pig meat. That is a huge misconception.
