STDs are Sexually Transmitted Diseases while STIs are Sexually Transmitted Infections. STIs are transmitted through sexual activity (vaginal, oral, & anal) and as a result of the infection, these STIs can become STDs overtime. This process is dependent on numerous factors: genetics, immunity, environment, individual make-up, continual exposure, treatment, the possibility of multiple STIs, continual sexual activity without protection.
