If the condom was properly used (no contact before or after) and did not break wide open, the chance of any infection is extremely low and testing is optional. If you decide on testing anyway, it depends on whether you were the insertive (top) or receptive (bottom) partner. The exposed site(s) could be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, plus blood tests (in a few weeks) for HIV and syphilis.

Risk for above described episode would be low, but the cumulative risk from having sex with strangers is increased for STD transmission in general and that would be an area to work on.
