In the GeneralEvents_OnStartTest routine you could use an if statement to check a temporary project variable.

Another option would be to use script-level code (code outside functions and subroutines) that is executed automatically when the script loads.
Sub GeneralEvents_OnStartTest(Sender)

' code only executed once before the first test item
Login
Project.Variables.blnFirstTestItem = False
End If
' other code to execute before every test item
End Sub
