Readers, listeners, and viewers have been pouring in questions, and we are here for it! Today, we had the pleasure of answering one of your anonymous questions from Tumblr about herpes transmission risk!
Anon asks: "I just found out I was exposed to HSV2 about three months ago. I just started a new relationship a week ago and am terrified that I might have it and passed it on to my new girlfriend. We have had unprotected sex one time. What are the odds of her getting it?"
What to Expect When You’re Expecting…a Podcast
In an effort to cater to short attention-spans (mainly, my own), we keep these podcasts between 5 and 15 minutes in length. When we have guests on the show, sometimes, they’re a little bit longer, but we know you’re busy. Consequently, we promise to always do our very best to be as concise as possible.
Today’s Podcast
Today’s podcast runs about 11 minutes in length, and we’re answering a reader's questions about herpes transmission risk, possible exposure to herpes from a past partner, antibody vs viral testing for herpes, and the risk of transmitting to a new partner.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
