Welcome to the Forum. I will be pleased to address your question. While every situation is just a little bit different, there is much information available on the topic of the possibility of acquiring STIs from contact with clothing or other material (like sheets or towels) which has another, potentially infected person's genital secretions on them and ALL (every bit) indicate that there is no risk, even if you have a cut or abrasion on your hand which gets your partner's genital secretions on them. For instance, mutual masturbation in which two persons typically get each others genital secretions directly on each other is safe sex with no risk of infection. In your case, your hands were not directly contaminated but contacted your partners' genital secretions on his underwear, an even lower risk situation. The fact that you then touched your penis and that you had a day old cut/abrasion on your hand does not change this. It was still a no risk event. There is absolutely no risk to you and no need for testing of any sort.
I hope these comments are helpful to you. EWH
