Clinical trials using Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines were halted in India by the government on April 16, 2010 after the deaths of six tribal girls. Health activists have reportedly criticized ethics of the trials and charged that the pharmaceutical companies and PATH were conducting the pre-importation/marketing clinical trials among poor and socio-economically marginal tribes, who were being treated as "guinea pigs."
