STD is a sexually transmitted disease which only spreads via physical or intimidated contact with the INFECTED person.
For example, if a guy has recently indulged in a sexual contact with a girl & the girl is infected with certain type of STD, even they used a condom, there are major chances that the guy will be infected with STD & vice versa.
