DOGE

Organizations working to combat HIV in Louisiana are bracing for potential funding cuts and warning of a possible resurgence of the virus, after the Trump administration eliminated staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s office for HIV prevention.

The cuts target mental health and substance use programs, including crisis services, according to Louisiana health officials.

The order is a product of Landry’s Fiscal Responsibility Review Program, sometimes referred to as La. DOGE, in reference to President Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which Elon Musk heads.
