I guess screaming, "Don't touch me you dirty bastard!" is out of the question. And maybe you shouldn't stab him in the ribs with a pen knife while his arms are around you.
Can you divert his attention? When he comes toward you, you could fake sneeze and spit into the palm of your hand. When he reaches for you, grab his hand and shake it. Maybe he'll get grossed out and not notice he didn't get a hug.
