A member asked:
I've read transmission of hpylori via saliva and kissing is rare is this true?

Unknown: The mode of transmission is unknown. It is associated with poor sanitary conditions and fecally contaminated water. It clusters in families and tends to be present from early childhood. For more info: see http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/11218379 i think it's reasonable to kiss whomever you want (and who wants to be kissed) and not worry about it.

Thanks for asking!: Yes that would be rare. Love should help with relieving your symptoms will antibiotics will take care of the infection. Keep kissing.
