There’s a vast difference between HIV and Ebola. HIV is a slow-acting disease in comparison to Ebola. The fact that a person with HiV can take years to feel symptoms or some kind of debilitating effects means that someone can infect countless people. With Ebola, it’s somewhat limited. The longest holdouts before showin symptoms are around 21 days, but these are rare: it’s usually less. Then with your mass organ failure and dissolving blood vessels, you’re hardly able to do anything. Spread of Ebola is limited even in Africa because it kills too effectively. It quickly shows up that you have a bunch if corpses around and therefore need a quarantine.

The spread of Ebola is especially limited in
Africa because it kills so effectively, give it a chance
to reach modern travel hubs and large population centers
and it will be limited no longer and quarantines will do
little good, except perhaps to quarantine those still
uninfected to save the few who will have to rebuild.
