Great work. I got malaria in 2016 for a clinical trial of a novel anti-malarial (results published here). I was paid AUD$2880 and gave it all to the Against Malaria Foundation. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
It’s great that you know the results. While relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, it’s frustrating that trials, at least here in the US, don’t often share results with participants, even though it’s theoretically as simple as a mass email along the lines of “here’s what we learned” — presumably an email they’re already sending to colleagues, funders, etc., in some form. I had to ask the people running the Shigella trial for my data (not available yet, but I really wanna see if I got the placebo or not)!
