I’m watching TNG s4e26/s5e1 “Redemption”. There’s a scene where Worf’s honor is restored, by grabbing and bloodying Gowron’s d’k tahg. This got me thinking, Klingons absolutely adore blood rituals. Presumably, 24th century medicine makes contracting an STD a trivial issue. However, 21st century equivalent medicine would be far more limited.


“Blood-borne diseases” would make more sense, given that you’re talking about blood and not sex.
These are Klingons we’re talking about.
Yup, that was just foreplay.
You’re not doing it right, then.
HIV and hepatitis are both bloodborne and sexually transmitted. To be most accurate, you’d be correct. But comedy for the meme community allows STD to also be correct
