Using a condom without taking the clothes off as a 100% protection against hiv

Hi and good day to everyone. Let's say a guy puts on a  shirt and a trouser which have a carved out circle infront just enough for the penis to pass through and on that uses a condom correctly. The question is, can the trouser and the condom prevent genital contact during penetration by acting as a physical barrier without hindering penetration and therefore prevent both skin to skin transferable Stds and  that of bodily fluids

What you describe sounds like a truly terrible sex experience with lots of chafing of genitals due to the clothing rubbing against tender skin.

It's also completely unnecessary.  You can't get HIV just from genitals touching.  The only sexual risk is an unprotected penis inside a vagina or anus.  If you have intercourse, just use a condom.  That's all that's needed to protect you from HIV.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (body, skin etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
You can't get hiv when you use a condom because it only needs to cover the head. Your clothing would only be touching dead virus so has nothing to do with hiv prevention.
