A member asked:
Well my friend has h pylori since 2 months and he drank from my bottle of water and i drank after him ..will i catch it ? and when to do feaces test ?

No/when symptomatic: Not all infections are transmissible directly from one person to another. The bacteria reside in the stomach of people so afflicted. So, no, you can't catch H.Pylori in the way you describe. H. Pylori can live in the stomach without symptoms. If you get symptoms of abdominal pain, stomach pain, acid indigestion, dark stools or other symptoms, that would be the time to get tested.
