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. effects than dovato are headache, nausea,...t 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.

did you know that geico's whole 15 minutes thing... that came from me. really. my first idea was “in one quarter of an hour, your savings will tower... over you. figuratively speaking." but that's not catchy, is it? that's not going to swim about in your brain. so i thought, what about... 15 minutes. 15 percent. serendipity. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. building a better bay area, moving forward, finding to chasnt tonight and the warriors are the first pro sports team to make the new protocol is extremely easy for visitors in one sense. cdc officials set to meet this morning and decide the

>> the panel could make a number of recommendations and they could decide to keep things the same, join european officials who have cleared the j&j vaccine for use, but added a safety warrant morning, or say only certain populations should use the vaccine. for the first time in weeks, the daily average of shots put into arms has fallen below 3 million doses a day. scientists put together this map and the areas in darker blue show where americans are resisting the vaccine the most. >> obviously, there is an element of vexing hesitancy or concern that we need to address. >> so here is the latest information on vaccine supply and the demand for it in some bay area counties. we have learned san mateo county supply is severely constrained, but is is expected to get more in the coming weeks. san francisco and marin counties are seeing demand for the vaccine. contra costa and solano counties
