US health websites, datasets taken down as agencies comply with Trump executive orders

US health websites and datasets have been taken down as agencies comply with Trump's executive orders. The affected datasets include widely used national health surveys, indices, and data dashboards that inform research, policy-making, and media coverage about healthcare and public health. 

Some of the removed datasets relate to HIV/AIDS in the US and global health efforts, including:

CDC AtlasPlus: an interactive database with 15 years of surveillance data for HIV, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB
CDC HIV surveillance reports: dating back to the beginning of the epidemic
PEPFAR Data Dashboards: comprehensive online data portal of program budgets and expenditures by country and service category
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) databases: data downloads from the DHS, with population, health, HIV, and nutrition data from over 90 countries 

The removal of these datasets has raised concerns about the impact on research, policy-making, and public health. The changes are reportedly in accordance with President Trump's January 20 executive orders.
