This claim is true, according to HIV + HEP policy institute Trump administration dismissed the entire staff of the HSS Office of minority health. While we wait to get more specifics the whole entire staff has been eliminated, although president Trump still sits in the position to reverse these decisions.

This claim is true. Two notable publications, CBS News and Forbes Magazine, both reported the Trump Administration's goals to cut almost the entirety of the HHS Office of Infectious Diseases staff members in order to "restructure the program". Cutting over 20,000 positions within the HHS Office of Infectious Diseases.
