Not sure about that. Part of the immune system is some nodes in the gut (Peyers Patches) that grab swallowed viruses and develop templates for both the innate and adaptive immune system. If i heard it correctly from this talk with Prof.Robert Clancy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPPnyzvO7J4
Possibly, but that still depends on you swallowing enough to make it through the stomach. Plus they contain innate immunity cells(eg macrophages), which will again be 1st responders.
"PeyerтАЩs patches contain a variety of immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells. There are also specialized cells, called M cells, next to your PeyerтАЩs patches. These M cells feed antigens to the macrophages and dendritic cells of your PeyerтАЩs patches."
Correct. It is only if the innate system is overwhelmed that the adaptive/acquired immunity, with highly specific IgG antibodies, kicks in.

I'd read that somewhere but have never seen it confirmed. I do have an extremely strong immune system that i take good care of!
