The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday is scrubbing a swath of HIV-related content from the agency's website as a part of President Donald Trump's broader effort to wipe out diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the federal government. ... Trump's sweeping executive order to wipe out DEI programs across the federal government threatens to upend the CDC's efforts to combat HIV among Black, Latino and transgender people -- groups disproportionately affected by the virus -- according to public health experts.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Communications representatives within the CDC's HIV and STD prevention departments did not return requests for comment; last week, the Trump administration ordered all employees of HHS, which includes the CDC, to stop communicating with external parties."

"These sweeping directives from the Trump administration, health experts say, threaten to dismantle the CDC's HIV prevention division, as addressing disparities based on race, sex or gender identity is fundamental to HIV prevention work. The virus has long disproportionately impacted various minority groups, including Blacks and Latinos, gay and bisexual men and transgender people."

We welcome the police state. We honor our Dear Leader. Only he can save us. Only he do we trust. We look towards a future of racial purity and superiority of White, straight, only male and only female christians. Tearing down the walls that have prevented HIV will help us with this task. /s

There are still pages about HIV on the CDC website. What I've found is that, if you search for "gay bi transgender hiv" and then click on any of the results you get "The page you're looking for was not found" or "404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

I found exceptions - for instance one was a generic overview not listing any of the search terms other than "HIV." Another still referenced gay/bi/lesbian/transgender and was named "CDC's Division of HIV Prevention Released Three New HIV Surveillance Reports | CDC NCHHSTP"

I also found that the wipe is anything that pertains to gay/lesbian/transgender (or in some cases, adolescence) - such as diabetes.

So it appears this is still a work in progress. Lots of documents to "clean up" (make acceptable to only whites straight bigots with a superiority complex).

You think Trump will take a lot of heat for this?

I don't know.
For me it feels like we have reached a level of insanity I did not think was possible.
American ideals I've held for all my life appear dead or dieing.
The norms, our mores - gone.

So much lunacy.

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

As much as he takes for anything he does.

Well... now I'm worried about Bootyhunter and Fortfisher's health as a couple.

This is great news!

First Trump eliminated bird flu (by banning any government reports on it), and now he's cured HIV.

I assume that Global Warming will meet a similar fate next week, if it hasn't already.

All Hail God Emperor Trumpf!

50 years of defunding and destroying public education is finally paying off.

Just wait until the department of education is dissolved.

Then states can teach, or not teach, whatever they want.

The union should have gone scorched earth and killed every confederate after the civil war.

It seems odd that Pres Trump, who has complained about the government not doing things for Americans, looks to actively be dissembling his government, making the government do even less for Americans.

Um. Wait. We voted for Trump. We supported him. Aren't we supposed to be heard? Don't we get a say in this matter?

This really is an outrage.

Do they have any idea how offended some hipsters get when you tell them AIDS rates aren't the same for everyone?

Without this data how is anyone to prove this for trolling or sane purposes?
