No it doesn't mean Aids or STD. Cooties has been around for a long time. It is generally something young elementary school kids says to the opposite sex. When I was in maybe Kindergarten - 3rd grade it meant germs caused by boys. We would all do this little thing to protect ourselves from the cooties. "Circle circle dot dot now I have my cootie shot".

Cooties traditionally means lice, but it also (for school kids) means a nameless evil miasma that can be spread by contact or secondary contact (touching an object). It isn't HIV or AIDS or STD.

When I was growing up, "cooties" meant germs or something nasty. I feel real old now.
