What does a chronic infectious disease mean?

Terry

It means you caught the disease (in other words you weren't born with it or anything, and you likely can pass it on to another person depending on what the disease is). chronic means it's ongoing. they're the hardest (if it's even possible) to cure or treat.

New Canton

It is a disease that doesn't go away that you got infected from blood or other means like Hepatitis C



Holiday Hills

chronic means ongoing for years...it literally means that you have an ongoing unhealing infectious disease that you can spread eg hepatitis TB....aids...



Richfield

Chronic means on going...infectious means that it can be transmitted to others....so in short it is a transmittable disease that you will always carry.



Nassau Village-Ratliff

It means infections coming back over and over. Like Herpes and lyme disease and other illnesses that there are no cures for.
