That's because HIV/AIDS requires blood transmission or intimate contact for transmission; ebola requires only bodily fluid contact with skin. It's entirely different, and much easier to spread.

I think it's body fluid to break in skin, not intact skin. Same Aids. The guy who touched his face cound have had a shaving cut, or a pimple. The main problem with Ebola is the copious shedding of infected bodily fluids.
You got a source for intact skin being an infection route?
