Well, strictly speaking, Ebola is a deadly hemorragic fever, often called " death of a million cuts" because of the rare tendency of victims to bleed from all orifices, even skin pores. So, in a medical knowledge, I'd consider Ebola virus one of the deadliest viruses on the planet.

While Ebola is a level IV containment virus, and HIV/AIDS is a level II, this doesn't indicate which is more dangerous overall to a population; it only shows how easily the disease transmits, and the required procedures to prevent transmission. When considering epidemiology, it's critically important not to get carried away with lurid details about a given pathogen, and focus on the overall picture. While Ebola certainly is dramatic, and the entertainment industry has made a lot of money with it, the overall number of Ebola-related deaths is a tiny fraction of those cause by HIV/AIDS. typhus, malaria, smallpox and a wide variety of more deadly diseases.
