Does the h1n1 virus affect the chances of getting the regular flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but mostly No.: H1n1 (swine) flu is a different virus than the regular flu. The only link tetween the two is, if you get one, which weakens your immune system, then it is easier to get the other, but you have to be exposed to a person that has it. It can happen.
