H pylori contagious or not

2022-08-16 15:21:47
I have been diagnosed with gastritis and the H pylori test kit showed delayed positive result. I was on antibiotics For 2 weeks (pantoprazole HP recently stopped). But before diagnosis I didn't know about the infection and I had kissed my girlfriend. Can she be infected with the same bacteria. Even after finishing the two weeks course we kissed. Is there need for her to test for infection.
