there's my career... my cause... and creating my dream home. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2 medicines in 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day with food or without.
5:12 am
don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. if you have hepatitis b, it can change during treatment with dovato and become harder to treat. your hepatitis b may get worse or become life-threatening if you stop taking dovato. so do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor. serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include lactic acid buildup and severe 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. don't use dovato if you plan to become pregnant or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy since one of its ingredients may harm your unborn baby. your doctor should do a pregnancy test before starting dovato. use effective birth control while taking dovato. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, trouble sleeping, and tiredness. so much goes into who i am and hope to be. ask your doctor if starting hiv treatment with dovato is right for you.

5:19 am
into tomorrow. as it does so, our winds will start to pick up. tomorrow afternoon we're looking at wind speeds at about 15 to 25 miles per hour, maybe even higher for spots like half moon bay, over toward redwood city, parts of the south bay also getting gusty winds as that front passes. it will also be a westerly wind so it will bring more humidity. by wednesday our fire danger increases due to lower humidity, a shift in the wind direction and increasing winds in the north bay. we're looking at northerly winds on wednesday coming in at about 35 to 45 miles per hour, maybe even higher for those higher elevations. that's really going to be a concern and the reason why pg&e may issue those power outages. we're also looking ahead to some rain that may only happen for the north bay within the next couple of weeks while the rest of the bay area stays dry. this low pressure drops in and mostly brings some rain for southern california and parts of the sierra.
5:20 am
we're going to stay dry, especially in our seven-day forecast, but much cooler air is headed our way along with gusty winds and that high fire danger starts mostly early wednesday morning. we'll have more on that. mike, you have a couple of concerns for the bay bridge. >> i do. first of all, we had the bay bridge toll plaza with the back-up that formed five or ten minutes earlier than we typically see. we have this back-up at the toll plaza and we'll show you the approach coming up but once you leave the toll plaza, a disabled vehicle on the left side as you're approaching the tunnel exit. be careful as you travel through the area. they don't have a bridge crew yet. we don't see any real problems. the optical illusion is it looks like it comes to a stop at the curve. it doesn't. there was actually a hit-and-run
