What is another word for social disease?
Pronunciation: [sˈə͡ʊʃə͡l dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
The term "social disease" is often used to describe an infectious disease that is transmitted through social contact. However, in recent years, the term has taken on negative connotations and is often used to stigmatize people with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). As a result, many healthcare professionals and organizations are opting to use more accurate and less judgmental terminology. Synonyms for the term "social disease" include sexually transmitted infections or diseases (STIs or STDs), sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs), sexually transmitted viruses (STVs), and sexually transmitted bacteria (STBs). These more precise terms help to remove the stigma associated with STIs and promote education and understanding around prevention and treatment.
