Not really because he would have obtained antibodies by now
But there are chances that you could have been infected
Wait and watch for next 5-7 days for symptoms if so then do an rtpcr test

Just look for symptoms like fever, cough, breathing difficulty and keep check on Saturation if any symptoms come just go for Covid 19 RTPCR and get quarantine at home for 1week atleast
