You don’t get AIDs by coming into contact with surface moisture on an armrest left by someone else that is infected with it. You can with Ebola.

No you can't. Not unless you have broken skin at the point of contact and the "moisture" is very recent. Ebola virus isn't very robust and a few minutes away from a host kills it.

Source?

I’ve heard the virus can live up to 6 days outside the body.
