What’s the difference between sti and std?

Two terms that mean the same thing.

STD = Sexually Transmitted Diseases

STI = Sexually Transmitted Infections

STI
is the more accurate medical terminology because an infection is only
called a disease when it has symptoms and not all STD’s do.
You can be infected and not show symptoms which means that it doesn’t fit
the definition of “disease”. STI the more appropriate
terminology.

They still mean the same thing.
