STD stands for sexually transmitted disease. It refers to a group of infections that are primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or other microorganisms.

STDs can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. Some common examples of STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
