U.S. military will test service members’ testosterone levels, Pete Hegseth says
"The U.S. military will begin testing the testosterone levels of some service members and recommending hormone therapy if needed, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday.
The new policy comes amid a larger push by the Trump administration to promote and expand public access to testosterone replacement therapies.
“Under the supervision of our world-class medical professionals, war fighters age 30 and older are going to be tested annually as part of their periodic health assessment,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X captioned: “The High-T Department of War.”
The test would take place as part of the regular annual health assessment. Service members younger than 30 can voluntarily get their testosterone levels tested as well, Hegseth said."
