Purpose: H. pylori infection is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide, with a prevalence ranging from 30% to 50% in developed countries and up to 80% in developing nations. The aim of the study is to investigate patients attitudes and practices about H. pylori infection in Aljmail, Libya, as well as investigate associated with a positive attitude and better behavioral practices, and the performance of stool antigen tests for detecting H. pylori infection. Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out during the four months from March to June 2024 and used a validated questionnaire, was divided into four parts. Results: One hundred participants successfully completed the questioner's equations, and they had positive findings associated with a positive attitude, better behavioural practices, and the performance of stool antigen tests for detecting H. pylori infection. Conclusions:It appears that both genders in Al Jamil City had the same prevalence of H. pylori. Married subjects experienced it more frequently than single subjects. The prevalence of H. pylori infection varies according to age group; nonetheless, stool testing appears to be a simple, readily available low-cost method based on the relatively high detection rates by HpSA.
