Because you can't tell that someone has an STD by looking at them.
It is called hidden because many have no signs or symptoms (asymptomatic) so they don't know they have the infection until complications arise from the infection. That is why it is recommended for sexually active, with multiple partners, people to be tested on a regular basis.

Can an STD cause urinary tract infections?
One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore. Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals. STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
