The Tuskegee Syphilis Study | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 141)

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male was a study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on a group of nearly 400 African American men with syphilis.

The purpose of the study was to observe the effects of the disease when untreated, though by the end of the study, medical advancements meant it was entirely treatable.

The men were not informed of the nature of the experiment, and as a consequence, more than 100 them died.
