sexually transmitted disease
Intimate contact illness
A sexually transmitted disease is an infection passed from person to person through sexual contact—vaginal, anal, or oral.
Common examples include gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV/AIDS.
Often abbreviated STD, though STI (sexually transmitted infection) has become the preferred medical term, since many such conditions are asymptomatic.
Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases regularly if you're sexually active.
