Only maybe, and not in the sense of being a carrier:

  • They can pass it on to others before they have symptoms or know they have it, when they first get the flu.
  • Some people have had very mild symptoms and didn't realize they had the flu, but that is not at all typical with Swine Flu.
  • People could have the virus on their hands and spread the virus to someone else from their touch, but avoid getting it themselves because they were vaccinated or already had it before and are now immune.
  • It is possible as well, although unlikely, that they could have the virus on their hands, touch someone else or something that someone else then touches and give the virus to them, and then before they touched their own eyes, mouth, nose or face they washed their hands and did not actually get the virus infection themselves.

Can you be a carrier of mumps virus having had it before?

Yes, it is possible to be a carrier of the mumps virus even after having had the infection, although this is rare. After recovering from mumps, most individuals develop immunity and are unlikely to get reinfected or spread the virus. However, in some cases, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems, the virus can persist in certain tissues and potentially be transmitted. Vaccination is the best way to prevent mumps and its spread.
