When did we switch to STI vs. STD?
it has been a while... more descriptive in that it is not a disease, but that you get it from someone else...
the gift that keeps on giving...
i believe it was the early 80s... or 90s
It’s less scary if you call it an infection.
When did we switch from VD to STD? When did we switch from social disease to VD?
“When did we switch to STI vs. STD”
They - not “we” - switched to STI when the woke/Marxist academics started proclaiming that “disease” “stigmitized” individuals while an “infection” does not. Never mind that with an STI you get an STD. They still think an STI makes the person sound more like a victim and THAT is why the change - another set of social “victims”. But, again, never mind the fact that rarely do monomamous married couples get an STI/STD, that almost always STI/STD “victims” made some bad choices (most of the time that’s the case). Again, they want to neutralize the choices people make, as though the choices do not matter. Even if someone makes bad choices, if something bad happens they are just “victims” of what happened. not of their own choices.
It’s NY and they are special.
well the word “disease” is just so NOT PC....
