Big difference! Ebola can be transmitted by a cough, sneeze, sweaty touch, etc. HIV requires an action such as sex or needle sharing except in extremely rare cases of accidental needle sticks or in utero transmission. I'm HIV/AIDS and have lived with my 3 children for 18-20 years and they are fine. One minute near an Ebola patient can kill you. I don't think Princess Diana would have been hugging Ebola patients without a spacesuit.

Mr Bob again.. come out out you have lot to say. I think in a desperateness to define this EBOLA,for understanding and clarity is good. The fear is another similar concept of all communities that have experience any plague of the past, I have learned, for fear first is common and then action of something for humans in their suffering. The fear of the unknown is contiguous of fact. I am wondering if any countries that trade with west Africa are transparent on home exposure of EBOLA like USA

Don't know who wrote this...but your addition to stigma, misrepresentation of HIV, and generalized transmission modes, is overwhelmingly ignorant and counterproductive...
