Does a deep kiss, or a gentle kiss make us infected with H.
In fact, HP bacteria can be transmitted from person to person through many different ways. Not only sick people but all of us are at risk of HP infection when exposed to the source of the disease.
Helicobacter pylori can be spread from a carrier to a healthy person through the following ways:
Transmission from mouth to mouth: HP bacteria are mainly transmitted through this route, by contact with saliva or by gastrointestinal secretions from an infected person to a healthy person. Usually, someone in the family is infected with HP, other people are likely to be infected as well.
Spread from the stomach through the mouth: Due to the habit of eating raw food, it is possible to be infected with HP bacteria, the bacteria are excreted in feces, this is the source of spread out.
Some other ways: HP can also be infected through general examination tools and equipment at medical facilities such as dental instruments, gastroscopy.... Therefore, the cleaning and sterilization of the medical equipment after use is necessary to avoid infection with HP.
According to the infection routes of HP bacteria mentioned above, we found that HP bacteria can be transmitted orally through saliva contact activities such as kissing, but the risk is low.
From there, we can answer the question of whether kissing can infect HP bacteria: When kissing, both people's saliva will be secreted and can be exchanged orally, so if one person is infected HP bacteria can infect the opponent.
However, the possibility of HP infection when kissing is not high. To prevent HP bacteria and viruses, bacteria that exist in the oral cavity, you should clean your mouth to avoid the risk of infecting the other person.
