Given the seriousness of HIV, someone with that desire might be considered to have Antisocial Personality Disorder (more commonly known as psychopathy). I'm not aware of a specific disorder relating to the desire to spread HIV.

I don't know of it being a disorder, more like anger and trying to take as many people with you. Denial can play a part as well.
