• Under the settlement, HHS will reinstate the affected pages to how they appeared on January 29, 2025, and the Seattle case will be dismissed once restoration is complete.
• The rollback covers government resources on topics such as contraception, HIV, youth risk surveillance, pregnancy risks, opioid-use disorder, and PEPFAR data dashboards.
• The lawsuit was led by the Washington State Medical Association in Seattle federal court, with plaintiffs including the Vermont Medical Society, the Washington State Nurses Association, and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care.
• In a related Washington, D.C., case, a July order led to 167 websites being restored with 33 still under review, according to a recent court filing.
• HHS says it remains committed to removing what it calls radical gender and DEI ideology subject to law, and agencies have posted notices that restored pages may be modified, prompting concerns about future updates and maintenance.
