Is it bad to be infected in Subnautica?

No, being infected in Subnautica isn't bad in a harmful gameplay sense—it won't kill you or drain your health, but it's central to the main story, acting as a narrative driver that leads to story progression, increased encounters with hostile Warpers, and eventually requires a cure to finish the game. Visually, you'll get green blisters on your hands, but this is cosmetic unless you remove your gloves, and the infection's progression is tied to story events, not a strict timer.

Subnautica has one main, intended ending where you cure yourself, build the Neptune escape rocket, disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform (QEP), and leave Planet 4546B, accompanied by the Sea Emperor's released offspring. While there are no branching narrative endings, players can experience a "bad" ending by dying in Hardcore mode or miss the main escape by lingering too long after curing the infection, leading to potential rescue by an Altera team instead.

Are leviathans immune to Kharaa?

Not exactly, but all the leviathans are much more resistant to the disease than smaller creatures. Perhaps they all have a shared ancestor, or maybe their enzymes that give them resistance evolved separately. Either way, that's the reason you don't see leviathans with kharaa in the game.
