Summary, etc. Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria known to be the most common cause of peptic ulcers and gastritis in all ages whereas its prevalence increase in adult individuals. It has been associated with low socioeconomic status hence common in resource limited countries. Most of the previous studies documented its magnitude among individuals with signs and symptoms. Currently in Tanzania there is limited information on prevalence of H. pylori carriage among healthy adult students at CUHAS. <br/><br/>Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with asymptomatic H. pylori infection among adult medical student at CUHAS.<br/><br/>Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted from May to August, 2019 at Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences in Mwanza among non-dyspeptic students. Demographic and clinical information was collected using pre tested questionnaires. Stool specimens was collected in clean scooped lid containers whereby H. pylori infection was detected by using H. pylori antigen rapid test as per manufacturer’s instructions. Data was analyzed using STATA version 13 software. <br/><br/>Results: The median age of enrolled participants was 23 [IQR 22-24] years. Out of 199 asymptomatic medical students enrolled in the study 96 (48.24%% CI; 41-45) were positively for H. pylori infection and drinking tap water (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.21-4.09 p=0.01) was significantly associated with positivity. <br/><br/>Conclusion and recommendation: The prevalence of H. pylori among healthy normal adult students at CUHAS is very high and is significantly associated with drinking tape water. This calls for need of emphasizing of the control measures among the students. <br/>
