Naturally when we encounter with any pathogen first time then our body gain immunity against it (immunity period varies from pathogen type)
Artificially we get immunity by vaccination and i.e either by taking killed or less virulent form of pathogen which is also called first generation vaccine or by taking its DNA which can initiate immunity in us which is also called second generation immunity.

Once you have a condition, the body develops antibodies which will detect the infection again. Therefore, once you have been exposed, the body will forever recognize the same infection should the person be exposed again.
