Is AGGRIVATED GASTRITIS/Helicobacter pylori contagious?

My mum has aggrivated gastritis.....is it contagious? i know it can be caused by stress, tobacco, ect but if she has >>>>>>>>>>Helicobacter pylori<<<<<<<<<<< COULD I GET IT

Scientists suspect that H. pylori infection may be contagious, because the infection seems to run in families and is more common where people live in crowded or unsanitary conditions. Although research suggests that infection is passed from person to person, exactly how this happens isn't really known.

Right now, there's no vaccine against H. pylori. And because transmission isn't clearly understood, prevention guidelines aren't yet available. However, it's always important to make sure you and your family:

* Wash your hands thoroughly.
* Eat food that's been properly prepared.
* Drink water from a safe source.

it is possible my father has it i live with him and i fear that possibility
