What’s the Difference Between STD & STI?

A sexually transmitted disease (STD) develops when an infection has advanced and begun causing symptoms. Whereas a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is the earlier stage, when a virus, bacteria or other pathogen has entered the body but may not yet be producing noticeable signs. In short, most STDs start as STIs, which is why early detection plays an essential role in preventing STDs, furthering complications and ensuring prompt treatment.
