Difference between 'Healthy' and 'Disease' free
(Dis+ease = Disease) Littary meaning of disease is 'disturbed ease' means discomfort. In other words, the term 'Disease' refers to an uncomfortable feeling.

In this case, if he gets himself tested there may not be any infectious agent present in his/her body. By the given example we can say that he does not have any disease since the disease causing agent present in his/her body, yet he/she is not said be 'healthy'.
