Difference between std and uti?

Thanks for asking!: Std stands for sexually transmitted disease. Uti stands for urinary tract infection. While utis may be caused by stds, typically in women the most common organism is actually e. Coli, and not a sexually transmitted disease.

Type: UTI is urinary tract infection. Can be caused by several types of germs. STDs are one group of germs that can be a cause. If sexually active and concerned ask your MD to run std test on urine
