It does not readily absorb through the skin - the main danger is directly from blood or other body fluids.
I would think that the chances of becoming infected in the manner you describe are infinitesimally small, one in a million chance at worst - the biggest risk is of the condom breaking. You are probably more likely to pick up HIV at the dentists.
That's not to say you should be complacent about it, but there is a difference between healthy caution and protection, and what seems, IMO at least, to be verging on hysteria (that comment not aimed at you, but at the lack of education some people seem to have about HIV, no offense intended).

That isnt entirely accurate. If a female carrier gets vaginal fluid on male body parts its the same thing as the male not having protection on at all. Like I said, Ive done the reasearch and not just what I heard on the news. I went to a med school library and read the information first hand, not blindly accepted what the media has tried to give me. The female has much less to worry about if the male is the carrier and is wearing protection.
The reason most people dont know this is because of all the women that have breast implants. They took precedence over HIV. So the report on HIV barely got glossed over if at all by the media. If everyone in the world knew how many insects could carry and transmit HIV and AIDS there would be a world wide panic. Hard to find a place that doesnt have mosquitos spiders or cockroaches. and the list goes on.......
