Example of medical record Inoculation is done through the abrading of arms, faces, mouths and men’s penises. Other efforts use ingestion of distilled water with the syphilitic mixture, spinal taps, and venipuncture of vein in the forearm.

Transfer of the infection proves difficult.

Interest in prophylaxis is waning in the United States as penicillin is being used more widely and proven its success in curing the disease.

Comparisons

In Guatemala 1946-48 In Tuskegee, 1932-72

In Guatemala, the subjects (men and women) are given syphilis.

In Alabama, the men already had the disease and were supposed to be in late latency.

In Guatemala, the subjects were given penicillin (even if not everyone is cured).

In Alabama, the men were kept from treatment (even if not always successfully).
