Possibly: Tamiflu does't "cure" infection. When used properly (it rarely is) it can shorten the duration of SYMPTOMS by about 18-24 hours. When you have a flu infection you are infectious well past the point where all symptoms have resolved. Be kind to others around you and avoid touching objects that others use and catch your coughs and sneezes in something that you can throw away. Wash hands with soap.
