sexually transmitted disease or STD
Germs that spread from person to person to cause diseases are contagions.People who are then infected with the germ, only during the active phase of the germ's "life", are then referred to as being contagious.
The scope and significance of communicable diseases is that they are all illnesses that are caused by some kind of infectious agent. Communicable diseases are also called infectious diseases (or transmissible diseases).
Some non infectious diseases are:Alcoholic liver failureallergiesAlzheimers diseaseasthmaBone Disease (osteoporosis)breast CancerCardiac arrestcarpal tunnel syndromeceliac diseasecerebral palsycoliccoronary heart diseaseDementiaDiabeteseczemaemphysemaglaucomaHeart AttackhypertensionHypercholesterolemiairritable bowel syndromemuscular dystrophyosteoarthritisplantar fasciitispolycystic ovarian syndromeSchizophreniaspinal stenosisstress incontinenceStroke
"Cum" or Semen is the penile discharge after sexual pleasure, where abouts an STD is a sexually transmitted disease {that's what STD stands for} An STD is this - Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is a term used to describe more than 20 different infections that are transmitted through exchange of semen, blood, and other body fluids; or by direct contact with the affected body areas of people with STDs. Sexually transmitted diseases are also called venereal diseases.
A pandemic spreads across continents while epidemics stay more localized to a country or area.
Infectious disease that are spread through sexual contact are called, "STDs" which is short for "Sexually Transmitted Disease". The former term used was, "VD" which stood for "Venereal Disease".

The best place to find the symptoms of infectious diseases is a site called WebMD. On this site one can easily find all of the symptoms of nearly ever disease including infectious diseases.
Poor sanitation, lack of hygiene, and bad diets.
There are many scientists that study the spread of infectious diseases (called epidemiology), and in the United States the CDC (Center for Disease Control) is the central reporting agency.
Infectious Diseases are generally caused by microbes called pathogens that enter into the body and prevents it from functioning properly. Infections are caused by bacteria, which can be airborne or blood-borne, or from viruses, which are typically airborne or by contact with a carrier or fomite. (A fomite is an object upon which viruses or bacteria can live for a short period of time.)Depending on the disease it can be caused by any of the following types of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasites, rickettsia, viruses. It is also believed that certain types of defective proteins called prions, although they are not organisms, are the cause of some infectious diseases.
Infectious disease specialists are physicians who completed additional post-graduate training in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. They are typically called in as consultants to assist with treatment decisions.
It is indeed caused by a micro-organism transferable from an infected person to a susceptible contact. However it is the least infectious of all infectious diseases. Immunity of the human beings against the invading pathogenic organism is very high. In this respect leprosy differs from most infectious diseases.Dr R Ganapati,Bombay leprosy Projecte-mail : rganapati@yahoo.com

Infectious Disease. (No, I am not being sarcastic) The study of disease is called pathology. The study of , say, the infectious disease Hepatitis would be under Hepatology. (Study of the liver and diseases involving the liver) The study of viruses would be called "virology".
