I am curious how you get negative blood test result. Anyway, blood test is usually associated with false positive and less likely false negative. I suppose it is true then. Nevertheless, is it possible to get another blood test from another doctor?

Yes,in different lab.
Which means I can't trust blood test for HP detection?
Do you know some people which did get negative blood test,but with other methods they got positive results?

Just read this:
When a blood antibody test is done early in an H. pylori infection, the results may be falsely negative because the level of antibodies is too low to measure.
What early period are we talking about?

it will be in infant stage where you immune response is still underdeveloped or, 1 to 2 days when you are just infected. After 2 days of infection, your body will produce IgM for a few days then IgG and IgA will kick in.

PPI cannot give false negative result to blood test.
I had a quick look and found this.
other diagnostic methods, such as serology, histology and urea breath test became available to GPs in B&H in 2008.

So, you should be able to find ubt somewhere in your country. maybe in the major city?
