The Tuskegee syphilis study is widely regarded as one of the most egregious ethical violations in medical research history. The study, which began in 1932 and lasted until 1972, followed approximately 600 black men, many of whom had syphilis, in rural Alabama. The men were not told they had syphilis, nor were they given treatment for the disease, even after effective treatment became available. The study was conducted without informed consent and with negligible regard for the health and wellbeing of the participants, and has since been the subject of significant public outcry and reform efforts.
