Frequently Asked Questions About H1N1 Test
What is an H1N1 Test?
You may think that it is just a seasonal flu if you had symptoms like cough, body pain, head ache, running nose, etc.
But what if I say that the symptoms for the swine flu is also similar to that of seasonal flu?
Yes, you may not know whether you have normal seasonal flu or swine flu untill the situation gets worse.
Your doctor may recommend you to take the H1N1 (swine flu) test if you experience any symptoms related to swine flu.
But don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that you are infected by H1N1 virus if your doctor asks you to take the test. You may be asked to take the test as a precautionary measure only.
What is swine flu?
Swine Flu which is also known as H1N1 virus is caused by an influenza virus. It was primarily found in the pigs that affect the respiratory tract resulting in fatigue, cough, loss in appetite, etc.
Though the virus is usually found in the pigs, it is not transmitted by eating pork. It is transmitted only from a person to person.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the normal flu found in humans. But the swine flu may turn deadly if left untreated.
The virus may stay in our body for nine to 10 days if infected.
What are the symptoms of swine flu?
Don’t panic if you have the following symptoms…
As said earlier, the symptoms of swine flu are almost similar to that of seasonal flu such as
- Cough
- Body pain
- Head ache
- Fever
- Running nose
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
The swine flu may lead to serious conditions such as lung infections, problems in breathing etc.
It is advised not to come to a conclusion if you have any of these symptoms. So stop panicking and consult a doctor to know better.
How does H1N1 Virus Spread?
The H1N1 virus is spread only from a person to person and not from the pigs. It is normally transmitted through air.
It is spread through the cough and sneeze by an infected person. You will get infected by the virus, if you inhale the droplets present in the air or get in contact with the infected person.
You may experience the symptoms of swine flu within two days after getting infected or may take upto 10 days to show the symptoms.
What is the Procedure of H1N1 Test?
The test for swine flu can be done either in the lab or at home through LabsAdvisor in different cities.
A technician will run a swab up and down in your nose and throat to collect the samples. The samples will be then sent to the lab for further testing.
What does Positive H1N1 Test Result mean?
If the test results are positive, it means that you are infected by H1N1 virus. It is recommended to isolate yourself if you have swine flu as it it highly contagious.
How Swine Flu treated?

Generally, you don’t need any treatment if you are healthy enough. But you should make sure that you don’t transmit it to other persons.
If the flu gets worse, then you may be given antivirus drugs such as Oseltamivir, Peramivir and Zanamivir. These drugs will be given to the patients only if their condition is worse.
