Yes. As infinity is so vast, and massive.. well infinite to be honest, there are also infinite prime numbers. The only difference is that they are few and far between. For instance, in low digits, they occur a lot more frequently (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17) And that's just in the space of 20 numbers. However, as they get bigger, the gaps between them are much larger. Currently, the highest know prime number is [(243112609) -1], a number 12978189 digits long. (For some perspective 1,000,000,000,000 is only 13 digits) The prime number right below that is [(237156667)-1] and is only 11185272 digits long. Therefore, the higher prime numbers get, the further apart they are.
