The universities with the most STDs

Last month 12,000 people responded to The Tab’s sex survey. In it we asked whether you had contracted an STD. Now, we’ve collated those answers by university.

Northumbria were, for once, leagues ahead of everyone else. Out of the students surveyed, 20 per cent admitted to having had an STD. 13 per cent of them had Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea trailed behind in second place, with only 4 per cent of students having contracted it.

Congratulations Lancaster, you are the cleanest of the lot – only three per cent of you admitted to having had an STD at some point. Their most common infection turned out to be Chlamydia, and a new runner in the form of Herpes.

This pattern was mirrored across the board, with Chlamydia being the most common STD. On average 10 per cent of all students admitted to having an STD.
