What’s the technical difference between being immune to a disease and asymptomatic?

Question

In both cases, you don’t suffer from the disease being in your body, but it’s still there. So why would someone be considered one vs the other?

Answer 1

I’m not a medical expert. Immunity means the body has the tools needed to successfully fight off an infection or toxin, etc. Asymptomatic people can carry the infection without being affected by it.
