Examining Tuskegee : the infamous syphilis study and its legacy / by Reverby, Susan M.,1946-(CARDINAL)141582;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : race, medical uncertainty, and American culture -- Historical contingencies : Tuskegee Institute, the Public Health Service, and syphilis -- Planned, plotted, & official : the study begins -- Almost undone : the study continues -- What makes it stop? -- Testimony : the public story in the 1970s -- What happened to the men & their families? -- Why & wherefore : the Public Health Service doctors -- Triage & "powerful sympathizing" : Eugene H. Dibble, Jr -- The best care : Eunice Verdell Rivers Laurie -- Bioethics, history, & the study as gospel -- The court of imagination -- The political spectacle of blame & apology -- Epilogue : the difficulties of treating racism with "Tuskegee".The forty year "Tuskegee" Syphilis Study has become the American metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. The subject of histories, films, rumors, and political slogans, it received an official federal apology from President Bill Clinton in a White House ceremony. The author offers an analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis, which took place in and around Tuskegee, Alabama, from the 1930s through the 1970s. The study involved hundreds of African American men, most of whom were told by doctors from the U.S. Public Health Service that they were being treated, not just watched, for their late stage syphilis. She examines the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives to explain what happened and why the study has such power in our collective memory. She follows the study's repercussions in facts and fictions. She highlights the many uncertainties that dogged the study during its four decades and explores the newly available medical records. She uncovers the different ways it was understood by the men, their families, and health care professionals, ultimately revising conventional wisdom on the study. This work illuminates the events and aftermath of the study and sheds light on the complex knot of trust, betrayal, and belief that keeps this study alive in our cultural and political lives.

Seductive delusions : how everyday people catch STIs / by Grimes, Jill,author.(CARDINAL)490608;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-292) and index.Herpes Simplex Virus -- Human Papilloma Virus -- Cervical Cancer -- Chlamydia -- Gonorrhea -- Date Rape -- Trichomoniasis -- Pubic Lice -- HIV -- Hepatitis C -- Syphilis -- Grace's Epilogue.To drive home the risks and realities of unprotected sex, Dr. Jill Grimes shares real-life stories of young people - -medical students, college freshmen, teenagers, young parents, talented entrepreneurs -- who have gotten an STI. The accounts of these young men and women and their exam-room conversations with their doctors evoke both the physical symptoms and complicated emotional reactions that often go together with infection. Fact sheets throughout the book explain each sexually transmitted infection and answer frequently asked questions about symptoms, treatment, and prevention. This new edition of Seductive Delusions shows how technological advances have speeded doctor-patient communication, including test results and treatment recommendations. It explains simplified STI testing, explores the frighteningly high incidence of date sexual assault, examines dramatic changes in cervical cancer prevention and Pap tests, and clarifies why HPV vaccines are now routinely recommended for all children-boys and girls. Making emotionally and physically safe decisions about sex is easier when you know how STIs are spread, how to avoid getting one, what their symptoms are, and how they are diagnosed and treated.
