    Go to a vampire cave, wait until they attack you with a red spell (sanguinare vampiris) and don't do anything. It'll hurt you, but wait till a message comes up saying 'You have contracted Sanguinare Vampiris' and then either kill 'em or flee.

    To get rid of it just go to a shrine of the divines (anyone) within 3 game days and you'll be cured.

    Here is a link to the UESP wiki detailing much about what you need to know about vampirism in Skyrim, including how to become infected:   Skyrim: Vampirisim.

    Best way is to have the dawnguard dlc and then play through the first mission. You will get the choice whether to become a vampire lord or not one you have completed it
