The philosophy behind the term "sexually transmitted disease?"?

The philosophy behind the term "sexually transmitted disease?"?Transmittable diseases are mainly understood as being foreign micro-organisms that parasitically take root in the system of another living creature. Humans have what I consider a rather outdated and silly classification for micro-organisms that are rightly or wrongly associated with the act of fornication, mainly due to erroneous beliefs that sexual acts deserve some sort of health repercussion.

SO. Let's Socrates this up.
1. If one gets an "STD" from touching a door knob and then touching a mucus membrane, for this scenario let's say their eye, does it still qualify as a "sexually transmitted" disease?
2. If one gets the common cold during coitus, does that then transform it into being "sexually transmitted?"
3. I recently heard a rumor that I'm totally not writing a college essay on so I am not going to check my sources, as this is all rhetorical philosophy gibberish anyway, that kissing and / or intercourse with a "clean" partner can, in fact, cause an exchange of antibodies. Since this is an exchange of micro-organisms, alive or dead, which are exchanged through sexual means with sexual intent, does this make such exchange of positive micro-organisms a previously unidentified "STD?"

This is mostly a rant and I expect the majority of responses to take the form of lolcats.

1. This doesn't actually happen, so it's irrelevant. STDs are diseases that are primarily transmitted through sex.
2. No, because the sex is irrelevant-- colds are basically droplet-borne.
3. No-- even if it's true, which I doubt, antibodies aren't dead microorganisms, and they don't cause disease.

Hi STD means just that sexually transmitted simple and succinct OK

1, Yes there is no distinction how it was acquired if u contracted one then it will be classed as std.

2. No absolutely not u are contracting a common cold that's life.

3. Getting STD from clean partner is not possible and vice versa OK dead micro-organisms or not it doesn't make sense OK
