1932年，美国公共卫生署（USPHS）在亚拉巴马的梅肯县发起了一项实验，以确定未经治疗的潜伏梅毒在黑人男性中的自然病程。测试包括400名梅毒患者和200名未感染的男性作为对照。该研究的第一份出版报告出现在1936年，随后的论文每四到六年发表一次，直到20世纪60年代。当青霉素在20世纪50年代初作为梅毒的首选治疗方法被广泛使用时，这些人没有接受治疗。事实上，在几个场合，USPHS实际上试图阻止治疗。此外，联邦疾病控制中心的一个委员会在1969年决定继续进行这项研究。直到1972年，当这项研究的报道第一次出现在全国新闻界时，卫生、教育和福利部才停止了这项实验。
In 1932 the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) initiated an experiment in Macon County, Alabama, to determine the natural course of untreated, latent syphilis in black males. The test comprised 400 syphilitic men, as well as 200 uninfected men who served as controls. The first published report of the study appeared in 1936 with subsequent papers issued every four to six years, through the 1960s. When penicillin became widely available by the early 1950s as the preferred treatment for syphilis, the men did not receive therapy. In fact on several occasions, the USPHS actually sought to prevent treatment. Moreover, a committee at the federally operated Center for Disease Control decided in 1969 that the study should be continued. Only in 1972, when accounts of the study first appeared in the national press, did the Department of Health, Education and Welfare halt the experiment.
