Unless you sent that person files from the iPhone, the text is a scam.

If you did, delete those files or scan them on a computer.

It's a scam. You do not have viruses on your phone.

Hello ~ You are welcome…just never give one of these scammers your personal information or Apple ID as that is what they are after.
