They inject a chemical into you that stops your blood from clotting so they can suck it out, that chemical can contain the west nile virus, although only 1% of people actually get sick from it, just keep healthy, thats the only way known to help prevent it.

You can only get West Nile from the bite of a particular mosquito. While they are biting you the virus gets in your bloodstream.
