how easily can you catch 'impetigo'?

My little brother has impetigo.. a skin disease on his face at the moment.
He's on antibiotics & has cream but has been told its really contagous
I'm a bit paranoid as i live with him & i reeeally don't want to catch it as i've had it before & its horrible :(

I have been staying in seperate rooms away from him, using my own towels & havn't touched anything he's touched.. or touched him!... lol

Is there still a chance i may get it? How can i prevent catching it?
(bear in mind i have no choice but to live in the same house as him so can't walk away lol)
