Termes habituellement utilisés au pluriel. 5, record 1, French, - infection%20transmissible%20sexuellement%20et%20par%20le%20sang
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les termes construits avec «infection» tendent à remplacer ceux construits avec «maladie», car ils tiennent compte davantage des infections asymptomatiques, notamment les infections à VIH. 5, record 1, French, - infection%20transmissible%20sexuellement%20et%20par%20le%20sang
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Les termes construits avec «transmissible» sont à privilégier, car la caractéristique commune à toutes les ITS (infections transmissibles sexuellement) est qu'elles ont la capacité d'être transmises sexuellement. Dans les faits, la voie par laquelle l'infection a été effectivement transmise importe peu. 5, record 1, French, - infection%20transmissible%20sexuellement%20et%20par%20le%20sang
