Sexually Transmitted Infections
An STI is a sexually transmitted infection, and
an STD is a sexually transmitted disease.
The terms STI and STD are often used interchangeably.
But they have different meanings in terms of terminology.
STI indicates that a person has an infection that has not yet become a disease.
Take HPV (human papillomavirus), for example- A woman with HPV usually has no symptoms.
However, she was infected- with the virus. She has sexually transmitted diseases, but if she has cervical cancer from HPV, she will get STDs because cancer is a disease.
People with chlamydia or gonorrhea who develop a pelvic inflammatory disease are in the same vessel (PID).
So infections, often called sexually transmitted infections (STIs), occur when bacteria or viruses enter the body and begin to multiply. STDs are defined as a disorder of normal body function or structure, especially when signs and symptoms appear (as long as the cause is not physical injury).
From a medical point of view, this indicates that all sexually transmitted diseases began as STDs. STDs are sexually transmitted diseases that cause illness.
Many people have no symptoms of STIs, so people don't even know they are sick - so getting tested is very important!
Antibiotics can eliminate and cure sexually transmitted diseases, usually caused by bacterial infections, so check for STIs (and treat them if necessary)!
