What does 'STD' stand for?

soft tissue disease
standard
study
sexually transmitted disease

The correct answer is: sexually transmitted disease

'STD' stands for sexually transmitted disease. This option refers to infections that spread from one person to another through intimate contact. Option A Soft tissue disease is an incorrect choice as STDs specifically refers to infections transmitted through sexual contact, while soft tissue disease may include non-sexually transmitted conditions such as tendonitis or bursitis. Option B: Standard is also an incorrect choice as it is a term used to describe a measure of quality or level of performance, and does not relate to the context of STDs. Option C: Study is incorrect as STDs are not a type of study, but rather a term used to refer to infections.
