Just a quick “why” post.
Why change the name from sexually transmitted disease to sexually transmitted infection?
To me “disease” has more impact then “infection”. It’s pointless.
Why do names change? I remember when Snickers was Marathon.

STD also stands for "Subscribers Trunk Dialing code" - e.g. 01604 for Northampton.
"What's your STD?"
"I'll have a dose of Herpes, please..."
I suppose one had to change, especially with the increase in phone sex lines.
Gotta be a joke about 'catching an STD from fingering the phone' in there somewhere, but I can't be bothered.

One of the problems with society nowadays is all the shock treatment. Ok the adverts for the NSPCC were a great idea to help a problem that is a major issue but we are starting to find people using shock adverts for less important stuff and it will get worse. This was there is also a seperate between an STI and an STD, the former won't have you running to the hills just to the pharmacy.
People very rarely die of it now. I think the only people it kills now are indiginous people who live in places like Papua New Guinea and the rainforests.
People dont die of the cold now though.

Killed millions and millions of Native Americans when the Brittish went to America for the first time because their imune system had never encountered it before. Ok it's pretty common all round the world now but people do die of it as hard to believe as it is.

Opal Fruits or Starbust.
Stupid name change.
Saying that it did work though, I bought a pack just to see the new name...

An infection can be sometimes cured by anti-biotics
But a disease is a microbe or a cell which damges other cells

As I think someone has already mentioned, both of those can be cleared up with antibiotics.
