No H pylori: A negative blood test for Helicobacter pylori is highly reliable. Probably you never had it, but if you did, it is now gone, whether or not it was because of your UTI antibiotics.

Hpylori: To confirm eradication you need a breath test for hpylori. If you also have anemia you may need an endoscopy and there is usually a biopsy of the stomach for hpylori. Eradication of hpylori takes 2 weeks of triple therapy including 2 antibiotics plus a PPI . Once positive the blood test is always positive.
