Can I catch H. pylori from my husband?

Understanding H. pylori Transmission

H. pylori is a prevalent type of bacteria that can indeed be transmitted from one person to another. This bacterium primarily affects the digestive system. It usually enters the body through the mouth and then settles in the gastrointestinal tract. Saliva may carry these germs, which means that individuals carrying the infection could potentially spread it through activities such as kissing or oral sex.
