Does H pylori increase acid secretion?

Question

Asked for Male, 38 Years

Does H pylori increase acid secretion? I have done endoscopy, and it says H pylori positive and Antral gastritis. I am having continuous acid reflux. I can read articles that says h pylori causes ulcers. But it doesn't say whether it increases acid secretion. Can anyone confirm whether h pylori infection increases acid secretion? Does it cause hyper acidity?
