Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. The contact is usually vaginal, oral, or anal sex. But sometimes they can spread through other intimate physical contact. What is an STI vs STD? STD stands for “s exually transmitted disease ,” and STI stands for “ sexually transmitted infection .” But no matter which term people use, they're talking about the same thing: infections that get passed from one person to another during sex.
