It's still possible since a condom would not cover all the areas of infection.
If he has the infection directly on the penis, then you should be alright since the virus can't get through latex, but if his infection site is on the pubic area and your pubic area rubbed his pubic area, then the chances are high since your skin is rubbing it as well. Your best bet is to be tested for herpes.
