Several U.S. government health websites and datasets have been removed or altered in compliance with executive orders from President Donald Trump. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has taken down resources related to HIV, LGBTQ health, and youth health behaviors, with many pages indicating modifications to align with the executive orders. These orders mandate the elimination of federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and the recognition of only two sexes. A memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management directed agencies to remove any media promoting gender ideology. As a result, significant health information, including treatment guidelines for infections and data on LGBTQ youth, has become unavailable, raising concerns among health professionals about the impact on public health. Experts warn that the removal of these resources could hinder the ability to monitor and respond to health issues effectively. Health leaders have expressed alarm over the potential consequences, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate information for disease control. Advocacy groups and healthcare journalists have called for the immediate restoration of the removed datasets, highlighting their critical role in informing public health decisions.
