Question

Sexually Transmited Diseses but isn't it "offially called Sexually trasmitted Infection? Thats waht the told us at school where everyone said STI.

Answer 1

I thought they were the same thing but after your question I did some investigating. Here's one piece which puts it into understandable language.
"Medically, an STI is an infection before and after it causes symptoms and becomes a disease. An STD — sexually transmitted disease — is an infection that has symptoms. Some organizations prefer using the term STD. Others, including Planned Parenthood, prefer the term STI because STIs can be passed from one person to another — even when there are no symptoms. We want women and men to understand that they are just as likely to get an STI from someone with no symptoms as from someone with symptoms. It’s also a lot easier to prevent getting most STIs than it is to treat most STDs."
