STD specialist


Explanation:
"Venerologist" is acceptable too, but:
1) it sounds scientific and is more obscure for patients (in English everyone knows what are STDs but not what are "venereal diseases");
2) it is more popular in countries where English is not the main and/or an official language (google it!); India might be an exception.

"Specialist" commonly denotes a doctor specialising in a certain area.

Regarding Radica's comment below -- there is no particular need to rename "STD specialist" into "STI specialist". Infection (I) is an aspect of illness/disease (D), namely its initial stage. "STI" narrows the meaning if compared to "STD". Moreover, the word "STD" is known to the general public because it appears in many plain-English dictionaries while "STI" does not. "Infection" might be a euphemism for "disease".

agree  FishX: maybe it's better to be obscure sometimes?

  -> Well. Rather not, because the asker has not requested a euphemism. :) And it would in the end be "found out" anyway.

  -> Thanks for commenting. "V-logist" could be a new fashion, which is maybe nice; appears in only 2 dictionaries though - http://onelook.com/?w=venereologist&ls=a (venerologist, without the 3rd "e", doesn't appear at all).
