H pylori prevalence is 60 percent in Hispanics, 54 percent in African Americans, and 20 percent in whites.(2) Infection rates are similar for men and women. In the United States, the estimated prevalence is 20 percent for people younger than 30 years and 50 percent for those older than 60 years.

Taking your medicine will clear it up. Some people need two courses of treatment.

a friend last year had to take 3 courses of antibiotics before she got a negative breath test, all i can say is have some patience because it really sucks waiting but i believe everything happens for a reason and this is just not your time yet. but it will happen and you'll get a negative breath test and things will go quickly after once you're all cleared
