Yepppers i have it. How did I get it though....through battle?
Only way you CAN get it. It's contracted via a Vampires Drain Life spell, or from an event during Dawnguard where you are actively made a vampire (Vampire Path).
Not to mention, the warning message you get, is the same you would get from recieving a quest reward, too small to take notice, especially in the heat of battle. When dealing with vampires, it's best to check your active effects after you deal with them.
