The longer your with them then the bigger the chance of getting it. Its spread like normal flu so if you were only with her for a short time and she dident cough or sneeze then the chance is less.

She may not have it. Dont worrie untill you know for sure. The are saying every ones got suspected swine flu if they have a feaver and 1 other simptom to cover themselfs.

Hi hun. Two of my friends have it. The doc has said

you can catch of someone while they have symptoms.

The incubation period is 5-7 days, so if you had it you can't pass it on while your not symptomatic.

If she has sneezes or coughed onto a soft surface the bug can only live for 20 mins or 24 hours on a hard surface.

There is every chance you could have got it from her, but there is no way of knowing until the symptoms come. I've been with my 2 friends and i haven't got it of them though.
I hope this helps hun. Wishing your sister a speedy recovery babe and i hope you guys haven't caught it xx
