Unless they drink the zombie blood or something it won't infect them. Your skin acts as a barrier and unless the blood gets into a big cut or something you aren't going to get the virus. Getting a little zombie blood splattered on you isn't going to instantly turn you into a zombie.

you mean like your mouth, nose eyes or whatever? There are too many examples where characters just start hacking away and get completely covered.

The chance of getting infected when splashed in the face with blood infected with AIDS is roughly 1 in a thousand. Getting pricked by a needle or something similar with AIDS is roughly 1 in 300. I get that AIDS and Zombies are different but it's a similar comparison. They have a lot of data because doctors get splashed from time to time. Getting infected blood on you or even in you doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get the infection
