No, 'Infect' is a replacement effect, ie, it does something 'instead' of what normally happens. A creature with Infect places -1/-1 counters instead of doing damage to creatures, and places Poison Counters instead of doing damage to players (it can hit a Planeswalker normally, no part of its replacement effect stops it).

How does infect work in magic the gathering?
Infect is a replacement effect, meaning it modifies how the normal game rules work. Infect specifically modifies the damage-dealing rules. A creature with Infect does not deal regular damage to creatures or players. In the case of a creature, it places a -1/-1 counter on it for each point of unprevented damage. In the case of a player, it places that many Poison Counters. This is for combat damage and effect damage too. If a creature with Infect deals damage to a Planeswalker, as a Planeswalker is neither a creature nor a player, then the damage is handled normally. The Planewalker's own replacement effect will removes some of his or her loyalty counters.
Is paying life points the same as inflicting damage?

How does Self-Destruct Button work in Yu-Gi-Oh?
"Self-Destruct Button" requires that: # Your Life Points are lower than your opponent # The different between you and your opponet's Life Points is at least 7000 So you cannot have 7000 more Life Points and be able to activate "Self-Destruct Button". Once this card's effect resolves, you and your opponent's Life Points become 0 - this is not considered losing or gaining any Life Points just the Life Points "changing" (this means that cards like "Barrel Behind the Door" that deal with damage will not work). The duel ends in a draw.
