If you get tested and it comes back negative are you cleared for life or can you get it at any point? I was tested two years ago and it came back negative.

As far as i can remember if you didnt take and antibiotic course, even if your feeling better its still lurking in your body.Take care.

Ps, what kind of test?

If you have a H-Pylori test with negative results, it does not mean you wont ever get it. It just means none was detected now.
