3:02 pm
much for joining us on this monday. we are celebrating our bay area. lgbt q, plus community. this pride month. and also highlighting some of the challenges. old and new when it comes to hiv and aids. we'll hear from a bay area infectious. disease. specialists. about where the fight stand. today. we'll have that conversation in just a few minutes. but 1st a look at your news. headlines. a stranded kite surfer was rescued all thanks to a low tech solution. along the santa cruz county coast. cal fire says the surfer used beach rocks to make a help sign on the sand yesterday. a private helicopters spotted the crime for help. south of davenport's landing. authorities were able to send a helicopter to rescue him. the surfer did not need medical attention. police are investigating several sides. shows from over the weekend. in san francisco. a car was set on fire along the embarcadero. early yesterday. morning. via fireworks went off at another sideshow in the mission. there was a similar scene across the bay in oakland. cemetery county
3:03 pm
has a new tactic. to fight residential burglaries. today, county leaders announced a reward program. plan is to give a cash reward. to those who provide. information on criminal investigations. it'll all be funded by a sales tax. in the county. to the east bay, where fire crews are making progress against a brush. fire that burned 55. acres in pittsburgh. it's now 75. contained that fire sparked yes. on john henry johnson. park. high winds fueled that fire and raised concerns of flames would spread to nearby homes. today, the santa rosa fire department declared the officials start of their fire season. fire officials are asking homeowners to take preventative steps to manage. vegetation on their properties. by cutting down weeds and removing drive. rush. apple announced a partnership with open ai. it's called apple. intelligence. it's part of apple's strategy to integrate artificial intelligence into its tech. company made the announcement and at its annual worldwide developers conference
3:04 pm
in cupertino. apple says the integration will be coming later on this year. all. right onto our 1st alert weather. we're heading back to the 90s. and parts of the bay area. already. meteorologist darren peck is tracking our warmup. and a heat advisory from the virtual view studio >>hey, darren. it's actually a question of how close to 100 are we going to get for some of our hottest inland locations and it's going to come on pretty fast. we had great weekend. temperatures. well below average, you probably noticed it was a bit warmer today. we did about a 10 degree temperature jumped today. which brings a lot of places about 10 degrees above average. but that's still okay. it's tomorrow when the heat really start. to kick in. and the 1st clue to this is the national weather service has issued another heat. advisory. this is for tomorrow from 11 in the morning until late at night, basically throughout the day on tuesday, and just like the last heat advisory it doesn't include everybody. it's focused primarily on all the inland valleys. whether it's not north bay or inland east bay, and then you see that classic signature that shows up here.
3:05 pm
if you're in the city. on the peninsula. or along the east bay shore. for your left out of this. not to say it's not going to be hot there. it's just not going to be as well above. average as you are going to be for some of those warmer inland valleys, another way to look at that. is just to get a quick snapshot. who needs to pay the most attention to this obviously, heat advisories. or important to be aware of, but we can drill down and get a little more specific on where the greater degree of heat related health impacts our by using the heat risk map, and when we do this, we kind of see that. classics. signature here you go. you got some orange for the north bay. you've got plenty of oranges showing up here for the inland east bay, and then that tells you you've got a moderate risk. for heat related health impacts and the takeaway from that is if you fall into that which are north bay and inland east bay valleys do people who are a little more vulnerable to this should really take this serious. el people who have to do a great amount of work outdoors. in direct sun. these are the kind of days where you should take that into very serious.
3:06 pm
consideration to go easy on yourself. find the shade from the air conditioning. if you're lucky enough to have it. and stay hydrated. this heat wave could actually have been a lot worse. because we've still got enough onshore wind. look what happens tonight. go to his sunset. and it's going to be windy in the city. and it'll be breezy through the carquinez strait. that's today. and it's going to do it again, tomorrow. that a big real help. because we will not get an intense barrier white heat wave as long as we've got onshore flow as long as we're getting some amount of influence of the cooler air from the pacific that will shield us from the worst of the heat as we get later into summer. it's going to be the spikes. and temperature without that on flow that really raised the highest concern. so we're not quite there yet with this 1, and you can see what happens tomorrow morning. the marine layer is going to fill back in using the high resolution imagery napa valley is going to wake up to marine layer gray and so will the city. another sign you never really get your worst heatwaves as long as that's happening. so thankfully even though we want to make sure the messaging gets out
3:07 pm
there for inland valleys that's it's going to be pretty hard tomorrow. for most of us who have some accessibility. if we live close enough to the onshore influence of the golden gate. it won't be terribly bad. let's see what that looks like in the 70 forecast. we'll start out with the micro climate that gets hit with this the most obviously, it's inland. at 97. but look how much you're going to drop. your back down to the 80s on wednesday. and then you warm up a bit as we head towards the week. never really climbing back up to the extreme heat of 2. but you are going to warm up against certainly, by the time we get to the weekend and if we look at the numbers on here for the bay, that same pattern holds true, you see the marine layer filtering in here as we get to thursday, and numbers will be in the mid 80s. for tomorrow. for your warmest day. alright, liz back to you, >>daryn. thanks. celebrate pride month were for today on lg. q. health. and perhaps 1 of the biggest challenges being the hiv. and
3:08 pm
aids epidemic. it was 1 of the cornerstones of a bay area. journalists. storied career. san francisco chronicle reporter randy schultz. wrote books on harvey milk and how gay rights shaped san francisco. how the country responded to the aids crisis. and the battle. over gays in the military and it's because of his reporting on so many important events. he drew criticism. from pretty much everyone. wilson walker. has his story. >>i think it's also more kind of 8. a age. from being out in the sun. so it's an old book. let's say that the shelves in his living room david toller has pulled an old copy. of history. the land. book on america's troubled response. to aids. and the work of his former colleague at the san francisco chronicle. he was obviously a pioneer. he was, you know out very early. and
3:09 pm
our there's a journalist from the beginning. and i think you know amazing. work that way. always tried to report on things that would not be covered. if i didn't >>do it. >>tilts the 1st openly gay journey. at the chronicle. ultimately produced 3 monumental books. on lgbt. history and rights. and at the center of that work was his coverage of an epidemic. yeah. it was very difficult. when it felt for your own community and the people that you know, are dying and getting sick. and you know, you don't know yourself. you know what your situation is? or maybe you do. talk. over and i talked about this a lot because we were both openly gay working in the mainstream. media. and covering the biggest story to hit the gates. community, which was aged retired. kpx. political reporter. hank plante. covering the crisis was inevitable. personal. while publicly it was often controversial, and that was something schultz was not afraid of the start. started doing stories. that we're
3:10 pm
advocating. closing. the gay bathhouses in ... clubs. and people in the gay community. or calling him a traitor. in print. in the gay newspapers. uh, and eventually, the health department did close to bath house. it was a tool that used did it save people's lives? probably and there would be more controversy. specifically the suspense. thriller element of and the band played on suggesting 1 single patient. was largely responsible for bringing aids. to the united states. well, this new book uh, michael lee's book about randy schultz. does put to rest the whole notion of patient 0. i know randi himself had expressed some >>regrets. >>to others about, including that story as the book was getting ready to be published and it's unfortunate that that was the hook. michael upcoming biography looks at the entire life of randy schultz. and his lasting imprint on lgbt
3:11 pm
history. and i'm hoping that with this book captures more of that complexity in a way that actually portrays the full human that he >>was >>i think >>that >>he has a very substantial and complicated legacy. and i think that that legacy still plays out today. writing his obituary was challenge because you know? couldn't deny that there was controversy. and you know, i got some angry response later. from from, you know some people about that. it was too nice or i should have been. it could have been much more critical. bad people get aids. it's just people who get >>aids. >>schultz just 42 years old. died of aids in february of 1995. in his funeral. drew anti gay active from across the country. 30. years later, his legacy is still very much a part of san francisco. a pioneer who worked to save >>lives. >>many others refused to listen. even if it meant
3:12 pm
angering those in his own >>community. >>he was a great old fashioned. gumshoe. reporter. and he was obsessive. he never took no for an answer. he didn't care of being liked. which is important if you're going to be a successful reporter. and we were lucky to have them there real tragedy. of course. is that 30 years ago right now. randi died. from the disease that he was warning. everybody else about that's real heartbreak. but randi would talk about having difficulty. you know, going down and walking down the castro and people would throw things out of respected him or yell at him or whatever. so he i think at some he sort of felt like you know. get pressure. gay persona non grata. in the castro. but you did what he felt, you know? right to do. and you know, i think he was. i think very courageous that way, and i think there a lot of credit for that. whether 1 agreed with him
3:13 pm
>>or not. >>randy schultz has a plaque on the castros rainbow honor walking it was placed >>here. >>in 2014. and pretty great spot. just a few steps from harvey milk sold cameras. store. the book. on his life. is due out on october. 6th. >>still ahead. how far has the medical world come in the fight against hiv? and aids? we hear from a ucsf expert? on infectious diseases. about the progress and where the fight goes. from here.
3:14 pm
i'm getting vaccinated... ...with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia.
3:15 pm
i'm getting prevnar 20 because there's a chance... ...pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions... like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, ...or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults... ...to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. just one dose can help protect me from pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.
3:16 pm
we're digging deeper into the fight. against hiv. and aids. as we mark pride month. early. i spoke with ucsf. infectious disease expert and the director of the hiv. clinic. at san francisco general hospital. dr monica gandhi. i asked her about treatments. prevention. and the rates of hiv and a now. so new infection. 1.3 0 worldwide. means we're not getting to the end of this epidemic yet. in fact, 39 0 people are living with hiv. worldwide and we've had over 40 million people die since the beginning of the epidemic. in our clinic here in
3:17 pm
san francisco. are rates of new infection went happened. steadily going down, but right after the covid pandemic they actually went up. and that was likely. because of changing sexual practices. people being around each other. more. diagnosis. people were testing we weren't doing as much testing during covid. so we're still seeing absolutely on hiv new hiv. diagnoses in >>the city. so what about the current treatments and prevention? methods and, of course, access to those treatments? >>so we are in a new era of hiv medicine. actually, so you know if you look back nothing was available until really 1990. there were some really hard treatments. in 1996. got better. treatments, but super hard to take. then later, they got better and better and better. and now we have 1 pill once a day, where there's 3 treatments. combined in 1 even that doesn't get everyone to where we want them to be, which is suppression. very logic suppression. because some
3:18 pm
people can't take 1 pill once a day. if you're living with homelessness. if you're using substances there's lots of other things that there's a barrier to taking a pill once a day. so as of the last 2 years we now have a long acting. regiment available. where you inject it into muscularly. once every month. once every 2 months, and then you go about your day. and that's been pretty, um we have done a lot of work. 86 to be innovative with those treatments and use it in those who are experiencing homelessness. but the problem is in terms of worldwide access. these long acting's are all we talk about. and there's very little access worldwide low and middle income countries. don't have it in this country. you have to really work within. insurance, to get it, so we're not where we need to be with access. it's and and i think the pharmaceutical companies i need to help us out with making them a little cheaper so we can get them on insurance. >>question. because it feels like every year. there's a new and exciting drug to treat hiv that gives patients options that fit their lifestyle. how close are you to completely? curing? patients? of this
3:19 pm
disease? are we still a long way off? >>unfortunately, the cure were along. long way off because cure is the idea that you never have to take an hiv therapy. even though you've been diagnosed with hiv. and you just stay in remission. don't have to take drugs there's only been 6 people in the planet who have ever been cured. and every single 1 who is cure. needed something. really dramatic. specifically a bone marrow transplant. so we're not going to give bone marrow transplants. to 39. million people living with hiv, so we're working on strategy. to get there, but we're not there. unfortunately, and that's why the treatment and prevention is so important. >>you most excited about like in the next 510 years when it comes to treatment for hiv. >>11. what i most most excited about is actually are these long acting but not once every month. once every 2 months, but once every 6 months or once a year the idea like contraception so contraception right, everyone had a pill once a day, and some people couldn't take it was too hard. and then when all these choices came out
3:20 pm
that there were implants and there were um rings, and there was a long acting injectables. people got on contraception better because there were so many options. we need way more options. for hiv treatment we need implants. we need once every 6 months treatment. and you go around and you're just twice twice a year and you're done so that's what i'm most excited. about. their all in development. not here yet, but i'm very excited >>there. some concern, though, that some folks may look at this. see this interview and see all this great news about treatments and prevention. and looking at the future. but they also might be letting their guards down thinking well, this is, you know, hiv is not that big a deal anymore. i can, you know, do whatever i want. do you find that are you concerned that that could be happening? >>yes, we have actually seen that what we call compensation. or up sexual risk behavior that people will take more risks. with their sexual behavior. the problem is getting hiv. you don't want to get hiv. here to
3:21 pm
take a pill every day there there are inflammation. consequence. their cardiovascular heart disease. other consequences. and we really would encourage everyone to think about prevention. options. and you don't have to use condoms if you don't want there's other prevention options again. it's a pill every day we have for pre exposure prophylaxis. we call it prep. we even have an injectable. prevention option. once every 2 months called cabotage river. but if you think you're at risk for hiv please get into preventative care. because we don't want to encourage people to get hiv. it's still really, really a raging epidemic. >>often do you think people should be getting tested? >>so if you have what you identify as risk factors and that's what does that mean? you've had an std. in the last year for you have more than 1 sexual partner and you and there's changes in that. just come in and and we need to see you will get hiv. tested and if you're having regularly change kind of changing of sexual
3:22 pm
partners, you're not which is 1 partner and their negative then come in everything. 3 months for std and hiv testing. that's how often we want to see you. because then we can get you on preventative care and know that minute, especially because stds are also rising. civilized. gonorrhea media. well, trans men and women are often denied treatment by health care workers. who aren't equipped to handle their unique medical needs. so i met with 1 man who knows what it's like to be marginalized. by medicine. reyes started his transition 5 years ago when he was 2. years old. the 1st task was finding the right medical team, but it didn't start an end. with taking hormones. rain knew he still had to take care of all areas. of his medical care and finding doctors to meet his health needs was a challenge. lunch. i kept experiencing stuff like that where people were just looking at me wild and i'm like, yeah, it says, if it's i'm a female yeah, that's what i was assigned at birth. that's my genitalia. but i'm not present. a search and just
3:23 pm
just i just felt like a lot of people were uncomfortable. with it and having that prejudice to remember that until 20 i have a gender affirming care was actually pathologize and had the diagnosis code of gender. identity disorder. hear more from ray and the chief of stanford's groundbreaking lgbtq. plus adult clinical program. helping train future doctors who will meet the health needs of this community. has tonight at 5 on our evening edition. well still ahead here at 3. it's been a community event. for decades. we look at the origins of the aids walk. san francisco.
