If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn't get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn't get -1/-1 counters.
The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
