Seeking Justice for Victims of the Guatemalan Sexually Transmitted Disease Experiments 1946–1948	2020	37	.pdf	application/pdf	15832	571	44	The scientific experimentation supported and funded by the governments of both the United States and Guatemala strengthened these ties by enabling the formation of contacts between United States researchers and Guatemalan leaders of hospitals, prisons, and the military.22 Through these contacts, the United States gained firsthand information about the functions and operations of these Guatemalan institutions, and the institutions may have come to rely in turn on the expertise provided by United States contacts. Because there were so many more men than women enrolled in the United States Armed Forces during World War II, with men exclusively serving in combat roles, it seems reasonable to say that the research experiments were designed to find cures for these sexually transmitted diseases as they manifested in men.53 After the Terre Haute experiments, United States researchers sought a place where it would be possible to do what they could not in the Indiana prison: spread the disease by human vectors (through sexual contact) or by direct injection.54	cache/cjgl-5700.pdf	txt/cjgl-5700.txt
