noncommunicable cannot be spread from one person to another
noninfectious cannot be spread from person to person
Non-infectious cannot be spread from person to person.
Infectious can be spread from person to person. This would include Viruses, Fungi, and STD's
Infectious Diseases are caused by pathogens , which are disease causing organisms. The major groups of pathogens are viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and multi-cellular parasites.
Non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens but can be caused by physiological malfunction, environmental (or chemical) factors, heredity (e.g. faulty gene/chromosome combinations), unknown causes or a combination of factors.
Contagious means that the infection is spread from one person to another by direct or indirect contact.
This would mean that an illness you can 'catch' from some is contagious... such as influenza or an STD... but blood-poisoning or gangrene are non-contagious.
List of contagious diseases:
Tubercolosis
Influenza
Meleases
Chicken pox
Ring worms
List of non contagious diseases:
Cancer
Diabetes etc.
An infectious disease can be passed on to another person by various means, like a cold or the flu. A non-infectious disease, like cancer or Parkinson's, can't be spread from one person to another.
Every contagious disease is infectious, but, all infectious diseases are not contagious.
M
infectious diseases involve a causative organism, from groups such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and such. Noninfectious diseases are not caused by a specific infectious organism. You get an infective disease from a bacteria or a virus or even a fungus. Other diseases are not caused by these but by other things. For example: cancer.
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens that can be passed between people, while non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted. Noninfectious diseases are generally contracted through lifestyle choices (food, sleep patterns, lack of good nutrition, etc), genetics, or environment.

Infectious diseases are diseases that others can get from you either by touching the infected area, breathing the infected air, or touching items that you or the infected area have touched. Noninfectious diseases mean others cannot get the disease from you in any manner.

Please stop using only upper case.
These two diseases are caused by different infectious organisms and have different symptoms and different modes of transmission. The only real similarity is that they are both serious diseases.
Non-infectious diseases are easier to control - because you only need to treat the individual patient. With infectious diseases - the illness is spread between people - by touching or simply breathing in the same air while in close contact.
One has 'non' in front of it whereas the other does not have 'non' in front of it.
Infective means it can cause infection, while infectious means it is contagious.
An "infectious disease" an agent that can be passed from one living organism to another. A non-infectious disease is a disease or other condition that cannot be spread to another organism.
Where infectious diseases are the issue, there is no difference between universal precautions and standard precautions. The suite of procedures called "universal precautions" should now be the standard precautions used in all cases of patient contact.
