In the vast majority of cases, infection takes place during the congress of the sexes. Delicate, easily abraded surfaces are then brought into contact, and the discharge from lesions containing the virus is placed under favourable conditions for conveying the disease from one person to the other.
But I sometimes ask myself how it is that this effete and deadly virus of low instincts, of vices inoculated in the blood, the whole assemblage of disabilities imposed upon us by the past how all this has not got the better of us. It must be because of something else. This other thing is love.
"Oh, we didn't destroy it. We merely stripped it of a very slippery protective mechanism against normal body defences." Jake perched on the edge of the desk, his dark face intense. "These two months since we had our shots have witnessed a battle to the death between our bodies and the virus.

A new realm of life invisible save by the aid of the microscope, began to be explored, and practical results began to follow. Pasteur at length announced his ability to produce infectious diseases by inoculation; and of this his proofs and demonstrations, were complete. The matter first came to a practical issue by the inoculation of well animals with the attenuated virus.
Inherent in this recommendation is an unstated belief that when the body is weakened by a disease state, the weakness can somehow be overcome with food, and that the body needs this food to kill the virus, bacteria, or invading yeast, and uses the protein to heal or rebuild tissue.
