Antibodies do not "get in to your body" from an external source. When your body's immune system (your bodies way of defending and protecting itself against pathogens and disease) thinks that there is something in your body that might hurt you (a virus or bacteria) it forms antibodies to attack the "foreign" object. So, Antibodies are actually formed by your own body and not introduced from outside of it. Hope that helps!
