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. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with 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. ♪♪ hey, happy friday. on the road, happy nimitz. not nasty nimitz. too early for that. let's check out how the business day is shaping up with our friend, bertha. good morning, mike. good friday morning to all of you. i am bertha coombs from cnbc. it was a first for the nasdaq since early september. investors largely shrugging off the economy.

maybe trying to get a jump on their weekend. >> we will see. what will the weather hold. we'll find out right now as we check in with meteorologist, kari hall. another look at the bay bridge as you are heading out, and it's all clear as we are starting out. we will see a mostly clear view as we go into the early morning, and by late morning we could see clouds and fog starting to roll in. taking a look at the temperatures today, we are headed into the low 70s, and even mid to upper 70s for a few spots, but this is very much like the temperatures we had yesterday, reaching 76 in morgan hill and gilroy, and 75 today in antioch. oakland reach into the upper 60s and low 60s near the coast, 72 today in palo alto. in san francisco, up to 67 downtown. our northbound highs reach into the upper 60s and lower 70s. it's going to be very pleasant

today, but we are seeing changes ahead for the weekend. we had not one but two storm systems coming in. the first arrives by tomorrow and keeps the rain north of us. we can see how the next storm system after that is much bigger, and that's going to be coming in as we come into monday. looking ahead, we will see more clouds moving in starting tomorrow, and our temperatures will be slightly cooler, but we're not looking at a lot of rain. then on monday, a bigger storm system comes in, and there will be two storm systems next week. as we look at what the computer models are showing, bright red for the north and inland bay, we look like it could be over an inch. another computer model shows slightly lower rainfall totals, and we will see how much we get as we get closer to this.

some upper 60s again for halloween, but we should get more sunshine. we will be watching not one, but two storm systems coming in for next week and it's going to be cooler with highs in the low 60s while san francisco is not going to see too much of a change in our temperatures, and we are remaining in the 60s, but cooler go into tomorrow and the next few days. mike, you have been watching the roads, and how does it look with the commute? >> like this, here in dublin, in that area, westbound with the headlights coming over here past the dublin scales just got word of a crash. no details. perhaps it's just a disabled vehicle and likely the road is cleared and we have not seen any slowing since that hit the chp grid. no slowing coming out of the altamont. going the other way, people
