sexually transmitted diseases
Intimacy-spread medical conditions
Sexually transmitted diseases are infections passed from person to person through sexual contact—intercourse, oral sex, or other intimate physical exchange.
Common examples include gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV/AIDS.
The term is often abbreviated STD, though STI (sexually transmitted infection) has become preferred in medical contexts, since many infections cause no symptoms.
Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases regularly if you're sexually active.
