Ebola is not an acronym (it's named after a river), so you shouldn't capitalize the whole thing.

That said, it's really hard to answer the question.

AIDS was first recognized in 1981, though the HIV virus itself has been around for longer than that (it probably mutated from a non-human variant sometime around in the late 19th or early 20th century), and the earliest well-documented case (though the term AIDS wasn't used yet) was in 1959.

The first identified outbreak of Ebola virus disease was in 1976, but the general Ebolavirus family has been around for millions of years; there's evidence of filovirus in fossils dating back at least that far.
