A sexually transmitted disease (STD), also known as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), or venereal disease (VD), is an illness that has a significant probability of transmission between
humans by means of
human sexual behavior, including
vaginal intercourse,
oral sex, and
anal sex. While in the past, these illnesses have mostly been referred to as STDs or VD, in recent years the term sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been preferred, as it has a broader range of meaning; a person may be infected, and may potentially infect others, without showing signs of disease. Some STIs can also be transmitted via the use of
IV drug needles after its use by an infected person, as well as through
childbirth or
breastfeeding. Sexually transmitted infections have been well known for hundreds of years.
