Well let me first say this, you are really lucky that he let you know before things got more serious. The chances are smaller but you can still get herpes. The guy that I was with didn't have any outbreaks for a while, and I still ended up getting genital herpes. So basically the answer to your question is YES. If you have anymore questions just message me.
