my mom used to work for the state (ny) and believes she may have contracted hep c through a patient whom she needed to restrain. the patient had hep c. my mother found out (years later) she had it and was beginning cirrhosis. I think if you contracted it through work you may get disability. not exactly sure.

It might be considered a temporary disability, not permanent. Better go through your employer for that.
