There is a possibility, but the risk is low.
Research shows that while kissing provides an opportunity for Helicobacter pylori to spread from mouth to mouth, it primarily resides in the stomach, where the oral environment is not conducive to its significant reproduction. Additionally, adults' immune systems are relatively mature and have strong resistance to Helicobacter pylori.
Therefore, the probability of transmission through kissing alone is not high. However, this does not mean we can be complacent, especially when one of the partners is infected with Helicobacter pylori. Taking preventive measures is still a wise choice.
When faced with a positive test result, many people feel panic and anxiety.
But rest assured, not all infected individuals need immediate treatment.
Modern medicine has developed Helicobacter pylori antibody typing detection technology. Through a simple blood test, the specific strain type of the infection can be identified.
If the test shows a Type I strain, which produces cytotoxins, treatment is urgent. These strains can cause a series of serious problems such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and even gastric cancer.
