about their online poll, published in the student magazine Varsity, they said
that pupils studying medicine had the most number of sexual partners, while
students of theology had the fewest.

them.
Forty per cent of the
students surveyed admitted having a one-night stand, while over 60% said that
they had never been tested for HIV, chlamydia or other sexually transmitted
diseases.
