Question
Hello doctor,
I am treating HP, I stopped taking medicine on March 23, on April 27, I went to blow bubbles, the result was negative for HP. The doctor told me to eat and drink carefully to avoid re-infection. After that, I ate very carefully, however, once I forgot, so I shared a piece of cake with my husband, who is suffering from HP. So the doctor told me the way to infect the HP virus? I just finished taking the medicine for about 1 month so is there any chance of getting re-infected from the shared piece of cake? I am very worried, consult a doctor. Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How is HP virus infection? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The route of transmission of H.Pylori virus is usually oral - oral (the main transmission route of H.Pylori bacteria, spread by contact with saliva or gastrointestinal secretions). bacteria from infected and healthy people) or faeces - mouth (bacteria are excreted in feces and are a source of spread to the community. Due to the habit of eating raw food, they may be infected with H.Pylori bacteria).
You have been treated for HP after 1 month, shared a piece of cake once with an infected person, you should not be too worried about this problem because the possibility of re-infection is relatively low. The possibility of HP re-infection also depends on the concentration of H.Pylori in the stomach of the carrier, whether the patient is being treated for H.Pylori or not, the amount of H.Pylori that you swallow, when swallowed in the stomach. , H.Pylori bacteria can live or not,...You have been taking H.Pylori treatment for 1 month, you should re-examine to evaluate the effectiveness of H.pylori treatment.
If you still have questions about HP virus infection, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
