This came up when writing
GURPS Psionic Powers (Disease Shield, p. 48) and is thus answered there. If the disease is resistible
and the protection lasts for at least one of the diseases cycles, it's treated as an automatically successful HT roll to throw off the disease. Otherwise, it's merely suppressed for the duration.
