- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal health agencies on Friday took down webpages with information on HIV statistics and other data to comply with Trump administration orders on gender identity and diversity, raising concerns among physicians and patient advocates.
The Office of Personnel Management gave agencies more specific guidance on how to comply with the orders in a Jan. 29 memo, saying they were to be completed by 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 31. "There's a lot of work going on at the agency to comply," said a source who was not authorized to speak publicly, adding that the CDC is"taking down anything on the website that doesn't support this executive order."
For example, a page with information about how people can get HIV tests was offline on Friday, according to the Internet Archive, as was a page for doctors with information about testing for HIV and treating patients. Also missing from the CDC's website was the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which tracks trends in tobacco use, teen pregnancy, unsafe sexual behavior and other aspects of teen health.
