I just had an std test done and the nurse gave me a printout of the results. What do the abbreviations mean?

Q: The results are 4 pages long and contain a bunch of abbreviations under the groups blood, serum, and urine. The abbreviations are accompanied by levels and ranges. The nurse said everything looked good, but I’m still curious about what all they tested and all that. Is there any reference on the internet (I’ve searched, but to no avail) that anyone knows of that can tell me exactly what these abbreviations mean? I’m specifically looking for the results for syphilis, gonhorea, hepatitis, and so forth. You know, the most common std’s.

What does it means by “STD’s”?

Q: Is it some kind of abbreviation ??Could someone help me out to understand the word??

A: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are diseases that can be transmitted through body contact during sex. They are caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. They can also be known as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) or by their old name Venereal Diseases (VD). There are at least 25 different sexually transmitted diseases. What they all have in common is that they can be spread by sexual contact, including vagina, anal and oral sex. The diseases discussed on this page are not a comprehensive list of all STDs, simply the most common ones. We also have pages with information on the transmission of HIV

Which article: “a” or “an” for abbreviations?

Q: Question for the grammar bandits. I document many medical abbreviations and realized that the article “a” or “an” can differ depending on if I use the abbreviation or the actual term. For example:The patient had (an) MCV of. . .vs.The patient had (a) mean corpuscular volume of. . .ORThere was no history of (an) STD. . .vs.There was no history of (a) sexually transmitted disease. . .So do I use the article that’s more appropriate for the abbreviation (which I normally use), or the article that’s meant to be used for what the abbreviation stands for?The answer would be that much more awesome if some evidence was cited. Thanks!

A: Your use of ‘an’ for MCV and STD are correct. I’m a technical writer and that’s how I’ve always done it, according to in-house style guides where I’ve worked, the Chicago Manual of Style, and well, common sense. Words like NATO (i.e., acronyms, where the abbreviation is pronounced as a word, rather than initialisms, where the letters are pronounced separately) should be used with articles that go with the first sound of the word. In this case, “a NATO contract”.I don’t know about medical terms, but one abbreviation that bugs me all the time is SQL, in computing. People usually/traditionally pronounce it as an initialism, but many also say it as “sequel” (I confess, I do too). I type “an SQL server” even though in my mind it seems like it should be “a SQL server”.
