What are the odds of me getting chicken pox if I've been exposed and never got any vaccination?

Hey don't listen to R. I know that getting the chicken pox now is a bad idea, even though it supposedly never comes back, the virus still lives inside you until you die. And I am being serious it can re-awaken 40-50 years, and that isn't good if you are elderly. When you get it as a child it usually doesn't come back in your older years, but saying you are 19, it may cause you issues in the future so don't try to get it.That's because it is a virus, like AIDS or malaria, so there is no removing it from your body, only making it dormant (asleep). That is the scientific truth! Anyway, even if you wanted to get vaccinated (which you don't) it would not help you now, because you have already been around your dad and the virus could have already entered your body. So I wouldn't bother with the vaccination. My advice for you is to drink lots of water, have a few glasses of orange juice for the vitamin C, and go to your doctor even if you don't show symptoms yet. The chicken Pox virus occurs in a 3 week period. Week 1 you will most likely not even though you have the virus, as it is just making itself welcome. Week 2 you have all the symptoms and the visible spots. Week 3 you will get better, the virus goes to sleep and the spots disappear. So if you go to your doctor now you can get advice on helping treat the itchiness and all the other symptoms. You can go ahead and find out if you actually are carrying the virus, and you can buy anything helpful, like itch spray, cold packs (help dramatically), and tylenol or advil. You will be prepared incase you catch the unpleasant virus and you will hopefully be able to make the symptoms more pleasant so you don't seem to be ill and itchy and yucky as this can make you feel. Oh and one more thing, i know everyone will say this, but take it from the voice of experience. do NOT scratch it will leave strange scars especially on your face and if u dont scratch they wont spread and you will not irritate it making it not itch, (think of a mosquito bite) Try putting on that itch spray or cream and distract yourself try to wear loose clothing as to not rub the spots and make them itch. Alright goodluck I hope you do not have the virus! :)
