>> bertha, have a good friday. next on "today in the bay," how conservatorship laws are being shaped in our state. 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. 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. or if you take dofetilide. dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't 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 dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed 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. ♪♪ good morning to you. take a look at how friday is starting off in the city by the way. there in the distance, it's nice

lot of rain, of course, but as we are looking ahead to how much rain we could see, and what our usual numbers are, about three quarters of an inch for san francisco and a little over an inch for san jose. as we look down the line to see if there's any chance of rain in our forecast, we're hot and dry for the weekend, but then go into next week we could see the storm system approaching and it shows rain nearby, and a slight chance of showers by next wednesday into thursday. doesn't look like we will see a lot of the rain, definitely not a lot of moisture with it, but it will cool us down significantly. morgan hill, we're in the 90s this weekend, and that will continue into monday. look at the drop-off in temperatures we'll see. what we are doing this weekend with the swimming and the beach activities, that's not what we will be doing next weekend
