36. 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).
