The
Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, also known as the
Tuskegee Syphilis Study or
Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (
/tʌsˈkiːɡiː/ tus-KEE-ghee)
[1] was an infamous, unethical, and malicious
clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the
U.S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated
syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government.
[1] The study was conducted to understand the disease's natural history throughout time and to also determine proper treatment dosage for specific people and the best time to receive injections of treatments.
