Hello GrandmSonata,
iPhones are able to detect if there is an AirTag (that doesn't belong to you), whether or not it is following you or not. However, if the person that owns the AirTag is with you, then it will not set off an alert because the parent device that is was set up with is near it.
If your iPhone is alerting you that an AirTag may be following you, I believe that you can scan your area through Find My to locate the AirTag. Here is an Apple Support Document that talks about the issue you may be having. What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory, or set of AirPods is with you - Apple Support (IE)
