Taking Viagra may increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).....I thought it was STDs.

Sometime recently all the "official" literature changed from STD to STI. I think it's because the word "disease" implies that there's something wrong with a person. Wouldn't want to hurt the self-esteem of all the people engaging in promiscous sex with people they barely know, now would you?

The word disease has a negative connotation, so using infection makes it sound as though there was no personal behavior involved.
