To determine which of the following is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD), we will analyze each option provided in the question: Trichomoniasis, Encephalitis, Syphilis, and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Diseases**: The options given are: - Trichomoniasis - Encephalitis - Syphilis - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 2. **Define Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)**: STDs are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. Common examples include syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV/AIDS. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Trichomoniasis**: This is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a parasite. It is commonly spread through sexual intercourse. - **Encephalitis**: This refers to inflammation of the brain, which can be caused by various infections (viral or bacterial). It is not primarily transmitted through sexual contact. - **Syphilis**: This is a well-known sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is spread through sexual contact. - **Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)**: This is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and is transmitted through sexual contact, making it an STD. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options, Encephalitis is not primarily a sexually transmitted disease.
