Why isn't AIDs a product of millions of ongoing abortions?

Because you can't get AIDs from having an abortion. AIDs is transmitted through sex(vaginal, oral, anal) or from using a needle that was also used by someone with AIDs. AIDS is a virus and HIV and AIDS is transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, semen etc and none of that is transferred between doctor/patient or patient/patient during an abortion. Doctors always wear gloves when dealing with patients and especially when dealing with bodily fluids or surgery.
