Once you are tested positive for h pylori infection,the pylori antibody test remains positive even after successful h pylori eradication.After the treatment you should depend on h pylori stool antigen test or urea breath test results

Do not start H. pylori eradication therapy solely on the basis of positive IgA when the stool antigen test is negative.H. pylori IgA/IgG antibodies remain positive for months or years even after the infection has cleared.
Next Steps
Stool antigen (or urea breath test) reflects active infection and is preferred for treatment decisions
