Eventually, if they love you, they will get over it, but it is pretty rough to start with.I've been through the same thing myself. My boyfriend has chronic hepatitis B, and when he told me a couple of months in, let me tell you, it hit me like a ton of bricks!I was generally crying everywhere, trying to decide if it was worth it to stay with him, or was I being selfish for even thinking like this, etc. I even got mad at him for 'hiding' it!Eventually, though, I calmed down, thought it over, and realized that it's just a hurdle a couple goes through.If you sit your boyfriend down, explain to him as normally as possible you have it, tell him he can't get it (I believe it is only through blood contact, right?), and tell him about the necessary precautions, then if he's a good guy, he will get over it. If he leaves you for something that you didn't have any control over anyway, then he's not worth it.I remember searching for everything and anything on Hep B when I first found out. He might do the same. I went to the doctor, got my vaccinations, and got everything checked up.Good luck!

You just have to tell him that you need to talk to him, and that you have something to say that may change the way he feels.
Then just tell him straight. I have this disease, this is how I got it, and this is what it means for us.
You might want to find some websites for him or pick up some leaflets from the doctor / family planning clinic to explain all the facts about how it is passed on and what the risks are.
Hopefully you've picked a good one so he will be understanding. As far as I am aware, you two can have a full relationship without him being too much at risk, you just have to be really careful.
Good Luck!! xx
