The term sexually transmitted diseases or STD are commonly used to refer to clinical syndromes and infectious diseases caused by pathogens that can be acquired and transmitted through sexual activity. These infections can easily spread by vaginal or anal intercourse, and sometimes by oral sex. STDs can also spread from the blood of infected patients.

Prevention of STD infection is possible by having protective sex (using condoms) or abstaining from the sex.
