Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to solve it.

Possible routes for transmission of H.pylori infection include either oral-oral or fecal-oral, iatrogenic spread with inadvertent use of unsterile pH probes and endoscopes, and vectorial spread by flies.
So it possible to get through kissing. And in sex if you doing sex by just intercourse method than not possible to get , bub if you do feco-oral method by taking organ in mouth than may be chances to get it.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
Dr Vijay
