The protectron you can activate can contract the disease for you, so that also is generally not worth taking along because of this. Its easier to just tell your companion to wait in the normal vault 81 until you get back. Your companion getting hit will contract the disease for you.

There is a very small chance that if you do get hit, you will be fine, but most of the time you will contract the disease. I did this last night, I can confirm that you need to do the following: 1.

Make sure you grab the bobble head when you're down there! You can contract the virus post mission if you go back down there and get bit. Abuse vats and quick saves, check your status after every confrontation. Limits there numbers and the odds of being infected. An easy solution is to switch the difficulty down to very easy, just for this mission. If you go in solo, and don't get hit, you won't contact the virus. Long story short it's worth the hit points for what you'll get in return if you give the cure to Austin. I know for a fact I wasn't damaged hid on top of a box where they couldn't reach me yet each time I still contracted the disease. I checked and found that you contract the disease even if you don't get hit, so long as someone in your party gets hits. I tried to use mines on top of where they would spawn and blew myself up. Also note that burrowed mole rats Will trigger mines. If you get ambushed and have to reload, toss a Molotov Cocktail at the ground where the Mole Rat would appear and roast it early. Note that the mole rats can be hit by grenades even while underground. I was able to get through without catching the disease by abusing VATS and quick saves. Can you avoid contracting the disease if you never get hit by any of the infected molerats by sneaking around or using followers for combat? Long story short, don't use a companion or have them stay by the entrancedon't activate the protectron and Don't Get Hit.

If you use it on the boy you keep a permanent hp perk from the disease. You get the option to use the cure on the boy or keep it for yourself.
