Cut on scrotum
I'm a man and had protected sex with a woman this weekend (one night stand). Earlier in the day, I had scratched my scrotum, breaking the skin but not drawing blood. When we finished having intercourse, I removed the condom and noticed blood on the base of it and on my scrotum (I believe she was close to menstruating). The blood was hers, not mine. I have no reason to believe she has HIV, but I am worried that her vaginal fluids and/or blood came into contact with that cut on my scrotum.
Does this incident warrant an STD test? What should my level of concern be?

Thanks for the response, Vance2335. How can you be so certain that there is no risk?
