Story by April Rubin (31 Jan 2025)

Several federal websites tracking health care issues like HIV prevention and transgender care were down as of Friday afternoon.

Why it matters: The sites included topics like contraception, gender-based violence, and transgender issues that President Trump and Republicans have repeatedly targeted.

The administration immediately began changing White House websites after his inauguration.
The Trump administration did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
State of play: The following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sites or datasets were scrubbed as of Friday afternoon. It's not immediately clear what day they were removed.

- the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
- AtlasPlus, which housed HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and STD information
- A contraception page for health care providers
- A page on ending gender-based violence
- Evidence supporting recommendations for HPV vaccination harmonization across genders, ages 22 through 26 years
- Heart disease death rates by gender, by county, Florida
- Information about transgender and gender diverse people.

As of just now, the Veterans Administration website still shows the LGBTQ+ information.

I won't panic until those disappear. Then I will have some decisions to make.
