Abstract
We have learned to live with many potentially deadly viruses for which there is no vaccine, no immunity, and no cure. We do not live in constant fear of these viruses, instead, we have learned how to outsmart them and reduce the harm they cause. A new mathematical model that combines the spread of diseases that do not confer immunity together with the evolution of human behaviors indicates that we may be able to fight new diseases with the same type of strategy we use to fight viruses like HIV.
