| A '''sexually transmitted infection''' ('''STI''') is an infection that is spread by sexual activity. An STI may also be called a '''sexually transmitted disease''' ('''STD''') or '''veneral disease''' ('''VD'''); however, a person who has been infected with an STI may not have any symptoms of a "disease".
