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.

asymptomatic individuals shows no symptoms or the ssymptoms are mild and disapper after the onset of the infection.
