    A doctor in South America in the early 1900s attempted to inoculate thousands of prostitutes against gonorrhea by forcibly injecting an experimental serum into their breasts. The serum did not prove effective and likely spread gonorrhea instead of preventing it. Some of the prostitutes later sued the doctor and won their case. The first effective treatment for syphilis was Salvarsan, an arsenic-based drug discovered in 1910, but it had many side effects. Good treatment for venereal diseases was not widely available until penicillin in the 1940s.

    round up thousands of prostitutes, who were forcibly injected

    (in the breast for some reason) with his serum. It is unclear
    what the official result of this “inoculation” was, but the serum
    didn’t work and undoubtedly many of the prostitutes con-
    tracted gonorrhea from the shots. He was later sued by some
    of his victims, who won their case against him.
    The first effective treatment for syphilis was an arsenic-
    based drug name Arsphenamine, also known as Salvarsan. The
    drug was discovered in 1910 and made available in 1912, but
    this arsenical compound came with many side effects. Good
    treatment for venereal diseases didn’t become available until
    the 1940s and penicillin.
