The syphilis epidemic of the 1940s was marked by a significant increase in syphilis infections in the United States, particularly among marginalized communities and military personnel during World War II. Efforts to control the spread included public health campaigns, increased testing, and treatment initiatives. The infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which began in the 1930s and continued into the 1970s, exploited African American men by withholding treatment to study the disease's progression. This unethical study highlighted systemic racial injustices in medical research and public health.
