Salutations!

Suppose a character has the following ability:
Affliction 1 (Advantage: Resistant (Occasional (Disease), +10; Immunity, x1), +100%; Malediction, +100%; Melee Attack (C), Cannot Parry, -35%; Contact Agent, -30%; Super, -10%;) [23]

Assuming the build is correct, this would, on a successful Will roll, bestow immunity to disease upon the target for a number of minutes equal to the margin of success.

The question is, does the disease return when that time has expired (i.e. the disease is only "paused") or does the target stay cured until he catches the disease again (or another one)?

I feel like I saw a thread like this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it.
