Doubt regarding transmission
I have been treated for h pylori recently. Due to it being symptomatic.
I am avoiding all junk and oily food, eating homemade healthy food only.
Yesterday i went for a farewell party, there too I didn't eat anything, but there was loud music, so while talking with friends, when they talked a tiny bit of spit felt on my lip area, once ore twice, not much but yes a little. I am scared if in case they have hp I will get hp again :(.
So is there a high chance or very low chance for this :(

Risk is least in your case. However the way you are thinking for a puny issue is worrisome rather than the actual issue

Hi dear, yes H. pylori is transmitted through saliva but not by the way you were exposed to it. None of us is also sure whether your friends are positive for it or not.
Next Steps
Don't worry over it much as worrying will cause you more problems. Stay relaxed n continue eating healthy too.
Health Tips
While attending gatherings, do maintain social distancing and wear masks whenever possible. Follow proper hygiene practices too.

Chance is Unlikely . Although transmission risk is there but not by the way you mentioned . Another thing is you don't know whether your friends are having h pylori infection or not . So there's nothing to worry about .
