The invention is a low cost means to use the patient's own antibodies against an infectious disease such as a HIV virus infection by surgically shunting the naturally-occurring saliva-borne antibodies into the patient's bloodstream. To do this, a small incision is made in the central portion of the cheek near an area where the parotid duct and a blood vessel are in close proximity. This area is located using a light source. Then the parotid saliva duct is cut and attached to a vein such that the saliva flows into and mixes with the blood. The portion of the duct leading to the mouth is sealed off, while the portion leading to the salivary gland is temporarily left open. The parotid blood vessel is then cut and a surgical tee is inserted. The parotid duct is attached onto the perpendicular outlet of the surgical tee and the outlet of the parotid duct thereby linking the blood vessel and the parotid salivary duct.
