Anyone that compares HIV to something like Ebola should be instantly ignored.

AIDS is much worse but doesn't get this much media attention

And apparently :

[i][b]In 2013, 1.5 million people died from AIDS.

More than two-thirds (70%) of all people living with HIV, 24.7 million, live in sub-Saharan Africa—including 91% of the world’s HIV-positive children. In 2013, an estimated 1.5 million people in the region became newly infected. An estimated 1.1 million adults and children died of AIDS, accounting for 73% of the world’s AIDS deaths in 2013.[/b][/i]

AIDS appears to be killing a lot more people sub-Saharan Africa than Ebola, that might change in the future but it hasn't reached that point yet. It doesn't get as much media attention.

edward2000's point was a fair one imo, I see no reason why he should be 'instantly ignored'.
