As per some internet information n95 respirator mask is not a protection from H1N1 for wearer. It's like a surgical mask which protect others from wearer's virus. So please suggest a airlock mask for air spreading virus like H1N1 ?

There's limited evidence -- but no proof -- that face masks offer some protection against H1NI swine flu. One study shows that when there's a sick family member in the house, other family members could cut their risk of getting sick by 60% to 80% by using face masks consistently and correctly -- in combination with frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with the sick person. You need to improve your immunity. Do regular Yoga and Pranayama.
