I've heard that the swine flu could be transmitted through a kiss. Is that true?

No, it’s not possible to transmit the H1N1 virus through kissing. The CDC states that transmission of H1N1 is primarily through contact with infected people and objects, such as surfaces, food, or water. Kissing does not involve any of these activities, so there is no risk of transmitting the H1N1 virus through kissing.
