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. ♪

these crab traps are going to sit here for a while because they want to make sure the other. >> animals in the ocean that they're safe. we're talking endangered whales and turtles in an area that they are hovering around right now. and until they leave the area, they are protected and they are not going to allow the fishermen to take the straps and take them to this very abundant area. now i'm not a crab fisherman, but i did my crash course on this. this is an area that you need to know if you are trying to put crab on to your thanksgiving table. this is an area in sonoma mendocino line all the way down to lopez point in monterey county. it's area go out there every year, which typically starts on november 15th. but the state, the department of fish and wildlife. they've noticed a lot of humpback whales in that particular area. so they don't want all those lines to be dropped into the water and the whales are floating around swimming around all of a sudden they get tangled and

all of those lines and then they can get injured or even killed and that's why they're pushing this back. we don't know when they will restart this and this could be a problem. you might say why don't they say say november 22nd, get out there and start fishing. well, the problem with that is it takes in about a week, guys to set up all the the infrastructure to have the votes in place o put their crab lines in the water to do all of the work before they start harvesting and that is why thanksgiving could be in jeopardy. so we'll talk to some fishermen. they're already here mulling around. they're fully aware of this. you know what james duryea. crab is a different tax bracket for me. what's wrong with thanksgiving dinner table wrong about that went wrong with snow and kravis cues really expensive and not filling and it's a lot of work. >> but we're complaining well. but an francisco. it's a generations. we like our crab
