What the difference between STDs and STIs?
STDs or sexually transmitted disease, are
diseases, viruses and parasites transmitted through fluid exchange, or occurring through intimate
contact between humans. Other names for STDs include venereal disease (VD) and sexually
transmitted infections (STI).
STIs or sexually transmitted infection is
currently the preferred term as it includes a wide range of diseases, including infections transmitted
through the sharing of needles used for intravenously injected drugs. Sexually transmitted
infections can be passed from person to person without showing any signs of infection or disease.
