Clarifcation on transmission routes
Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:52 pm
Hi all,
New member here and have been reading up on all the posts. Thank you to all the people that support and keep this site going and sharing your wealth of knowledge.
My post/question relates to HP transmission routes.
I been reading on this site that it is quite difficult to get reinfected with HP; and the primary routes of infection are: fecal-oral; and oral-oral.
Can the experts please articulate exactly what this means as I'm slightly confused since oral-oral is one of the routes of transmission but yet I've been reading that transmission via kissing is low. Please define what "low" means and provide specific examples of oral-oral transmission. And by oral-oral transmission, is the mechanism of transmission via saliva?
For example, fecal-oral: I touched the poop of an effected person and then I put my fingers in my mouth? Or there is fecal matter in my food/water and I ingested it?
Oral-oral: transmission via deep kissing or any type of kissing lips-to-lips whereby possible saliva of an infected person can be exchanged?
