Dont want to sound all PC & like a knob jocky but i got bollocked at school for calling them ST Diseases- "its not a disease Andrew -but an infection".
You can't label someone as having a disease. Yeh right
You can you know biatch 
That's something that's more your part of the world..
STD is still the widely accepted term here (well I should say I've only studied it/done research as related to my women's studies degree and if anyone is uppity and PC it's people with advanced degrees in women's studies). But yeah.. you're right.. that is the direction in which it's going
but aren't infections something that can be killed with anti-bios?
