Difference between STD & STI?
An STD, or Sexually Transmitted Disease, is the result of an infection that has progressed and caused
symptoms, while an STI, or Sexually Transmitted Infection, refers to the initial stage when a virus,
bacteria, or other microbe has entered the body but might not have yet caused noticeable symptoms.
Essentially, most STDs begin as STIs. Early detection through testing is key to preventing complications and
ensuring timely treatment.
