Brief Answer:
No fear to get H.pylori from oral sex...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are various ways for transmitting H.pylori, including:
- fecal-oral route: eating raw foods that are not well-cooked or washed
- it cannot be transmitted from oral sex as this bacteria cannot be grow in other parts of the body; it can be grown inside the stomach and prefers low pH of the stomach.

If you do not want to "give a blow job" to your husband, you can ask him about this your preference and look for other practices for genital intercourse.
Otherwise, no fear from getting H.pylori.

All the best!
