I received a text containing a picture of words saying "baby did you get this" this afternoon from someone I haven't spoken to in months. I am pretty sure it's a virus. Is there a way to check for viruses on the iphone 4?

No if your iPhone has not been hacked or jailbroken. As with OS X on a Mac, nothing can be installed on your iPhone without user intervention. Even if there were an iOS virus, iOS uses sandboxing with each app which would prevent malware or a virus from spreading anywhere else on the iPhone.
There are no known viruses for iOS, and the system architecture does not allow for one to do much damage of any kind if they did exist.
Realistically, I'd bet that the sender just accidentally sent a message to you that was intended for someone else.
can you get a virus from a text message
