English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
DEF

[An infection that is often] transmitted by sexual contact, which includes both heterosexual and homosexual behavior ...

OBS

In this context, sexual contact is more than just sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal) and also includes kissing, oral-genital contact, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators.

OBS

The term "STI" is slowly replacing "STD" (sexually transmitted disease) in order to include [asymptomatic infections, such as HIV].

OBS

sexually transmitted disease, venereal disease: These terms appear under "disease" in the Dorland's illustrated medical dictionary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
DEF

Maladie infectieuse qui peut être contractée ou transmise lors des rapports [ou contacts] sexuels.

OBS

Les termes construits avec «infection» tendent à remplacer ceux construits avec «maladie», car ils tiennent compte davantage des infections asymptomatiques, telle l'infection à VIH.

OBS

Les termes construits avec «transmissible» sont à privilégier, car la caractéristique commune à toutes les ITS est qu'elles peuvent être transmises sexuellement. Dans les faits, la voie par laquelle l'infection a été transmise importe peu.
