Hepatitis B is NOT transmitted casually. It cannot be spread through sneezing, coughing, hugging or eating food prepared by someone who is infected with hepatitis B. Everyone is at some risk for a hepatitis B infection, but some groups are at higher risk because of their occupation or life choices.

somedude and anna.... have the right idea. The only thing is that Hep can be alive in dried blood. Most blood born pathogens hit the air and die i.e. HIV. Hep stays alive in dried blood.
Get the shot. It is a series of three shots 3-6 months a part. Then every five years get your blood tested to make sure you are still immune. I have needed several booster shots

Do a search on the internet...
It can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and blood... You can get a vaccine, but other than that it should be not dangerous as long a syou do not plan to sleep with your boyfriends' dad :)))

It's a blood born pathogen that is transmitted via bodily fluid exchange. As long as you aren't sleeping with him or sharing needles (or anything to that effect) you run little to no risk of contracting it...

It transmits through blood and sexual activity, so chances are pretty good that you and your boyfriend are free and clear and won't catch it.
Here's some good information on Hep B.

It is viral infection involving the liver commonly acquired by blood transfusions or use of dirty needles. It is not just communicable except by exchange of bodily products.

Don't worry it will just kill him one day.
If you are concerned get the Hep B inoculate ... also I would get the Hep A inoculate just in case
