What does STD stand for?
Does STD stand for sexually transmitted disease or for something else? Does the Centers for Disease Control track all the STDs in the United States?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

STD does stand for Sexually Transmitted Disease which was the most common acronym, these days you are more likely to see STI.
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.
