HIV/AIDS is very different in that it takes a long time to kill. It doesn't lead to the breakdown of infrastructure because you suddenly have a million people showing up at the hospital at the same time. That property is also what helps it spread so much despite not being very contagious. It's very hard to catch HIV. Making out with a someone positive is unlikely to transmit. Heterosexual vaginal sex is also unlikely to transmit (especially for the man who is at much lower risk). With SARS-CoV-2 all it takes is touching the same surface. This is what makes HIV manageable and not a black swan to global market, while the Wuhan coronavirus is.
