i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with... just 2 medicines... in 1 pill,... dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a

rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato—i did.

happening today, a 19-year-old accused of attacking and killing an 84-year-old man is scheduled to be arraigned. we want to warn you that the video abc 7 news has obtained is difficult to watch. san francisco police say that the suspect antoine watson attacked the senior along fortune nah avenues last thursday morning. it's not clear what may have motivated this attack. the victim was taken to the hospital for life-threatening injuries and died on saturday. police arrested the 19-year-old suspect on sunday along with a woman who was with him. pg&e headed to federal court for a probation hearing over the deadly zog fire near redding. prosecutors suspect pg&e sparked the fire. the utility shut off power lines that day, but not the one located where the fire started. an investigation found pg&e

based that decision on wind speeds from a weather station 3.5 miles away. >> everything about this terrain tells me that you would expect the weather to be different there, where the zogg fire is than where that weather station is. >> in today's maerg the judge plans to make pg&e factor in whether or not it's properly tripled the trees when making shutoff decisions. the utility admitted id l it didn't do that in this case. teachers in the school district will start getting covid-19 vaccinations today. the district signed contracts with labs and plans to test the staff members on empty middle and high school campuses. administrators have to work out the details with the teachers union. staff would have to get weekly or even biweekly tests. there's no aim yet on getting middle and high school schools
