The first concern is for the person, not the clothing.
Take off the contaminated articles, rinse any acid off the skin immediately! If it got in your eyes, or if the skin is affected, get medical attention right away.
Note that there are a few specialized acids, such as hydrofluoric acid, that can cause death within hours of exposure if you don't get medical attention. Know the hazards and properties of ANY chemicals you handle. Alwayswear the proper protective gear.
The clothes are probably history, but you may be able to neutralize the acid by soaking them in a sink full of water with a few tablespoons of baking soda mixed in.
