Consuming any food raw (not just meat) carries risks (eaten any raw spinach lately?). The United States National Pork Board says "Because of modern feeding practices, trichinosis is a no longer a concern. Although trichina is virtually nonexistent in pork, if it were present, it would be killed at 137 degrees F." So if you are truly eating it raw -there is a slight risk of trichinosis. But when you say "raw" I presume you mean "rare," and if you eat it cooked (even rare) you should be alright. I won't presume to tell you how you should like your pork though.
Modern pork is so lean that going to "well done" turns it into inedible leather, so today the National Pork Board says Pork is best when cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F (juicy and tender, with a slight blush of pink in the center).

It is not healthy to eat raw meat other than fish. In my opinion, i feel that a pig's lifestyle is unhygienic, not to say what is done in a pig's farm. So i would advise you not to eat raw pork, they don't taste good either

The pig/hog will eat it's on waste and wallows in it at times. Be advised too that the pigs digestive time frame is only 4 hours as most other animals is a lot longer, therefore it is a good chance you will contract any disease or worms it has.

You will get sick.
First eating cooked meat of any kind is unnatural.
Second, eating raw meat is even more unnatural.
Only animals do that.
Our digestive system is not designed for raw meat. Research shows that even cooked meat stays in your gut for 10 days. Yes, you may have proper motion every morning - but the meat stays. Not all of it but significant portion of it. It is the cause of all kinds of illness.
Just knowing that, I am turned off of the meat eating habit long ago.

I wish you well..
