English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
  • Special-Language Phraseology
OBS

Terms usually used in the plural.

OBS

In English, the concept is not designated by well implanted terms and as a result, a large number of similarly constructed terminological units are currently used.

OBS

The terms constructed with "infection" are slowly replacing those constructed with "disease" in order to include asymptomatic infections, such as HIV.

Key term(s)
  • bloodborne and sexually transmitted infection
  • blood borne and sexually transmitted infection
  • bloodborne and sexually transmitted disease
  • blood borne and sexually transmitted disease
  • blood-borne and sexually transmitted infections

OBS

Termes habituellement utilisés au pluriel.

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.

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.

Key term(s)
  • infections transmissibles sexuellement et par le sang
  • infections transmises sexuellement et par le sang
  • maladies transmissibles sexuellement et par le sang
  • maladies transmises sexuellement et par le sang
