The ethics of placebo-controlled trials for perinatal transmission of HIV in developing countries
Article Abstract:
The placebo-controlled clinical research trials for perinatal transmission of HIV posed several significant ethical issues. These trials allegedly deceived the participants by not telling them the nature of their participation in said studies. The participants were told that they would just receive an effective treatment for their syphilis. Such an incident may have violated international ethical standards on biomedical research studies which involve human subjects.
