A study of 1500 male students at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India was conducted to establish the prevalence and related social and behavioural aspects of venereal diseases. The prevalence was found to be 3.93 per cent. The majority of the students (86.4 per cent) belonged to the Hindu religion which is based on the caste system. Students from the Vaishya caste were more affected with venereal diseases. The social acceptability of having more than one wife had a definite impact on the incidence of venereal diseases. Students who practised masturbation and homosexuality were also more affected with venereal diseases. Prostitutes were the main source of infection. It was found that 28.8 per cent of these students had been infected on a previous occasion.
在印度瓦拉纳西的贝拿勒斯印度教大学对1500名男学生进行了一项研究，以确定性病的患病率以及相关的社会和行为方面。发现患病率为3.93%。大多数学生（86.4%）属于基于种姓制度的印度教。吠舍种姓的学生受性病影响更大。一夫多妻制的社会可接受性对性病发病率有一定影响。有手淫和同性恋行为的学生也更容易感染性病。妓女是主要感染源。发现这些学生中有28.8%曾在之前感染过。
