A committal hearing in Melbourne has heard a HIV positive Coburg grandfather wanted to infect as many people as possible with the virus.

Michael Neal, 48, is charged with infecting two people with HIV and deliberately attempting to infect 14 others.

The DPP alleges Neal told some of his victims he was intent on infecting as many men as possible with HIV to widen his pool of potential partners.

The court heard he lied many times about his HIV status and heard his sexual practices were driven by personal choice and not by mental illness.

A witness said Neal boasted about breeding youth, meaning infecting them in Coburg toilets.

The witness said he did not believe him but Neal told him he had video evidence.

Victoria's Human Services Department has told the court it only went to police with concerns about Neal when he was caught with child pornography.

The director of public health, Dr Robert Hall, told the Magistrates Court Neal was being monitored, to ensure he engaged in safe sex practices.

His monitoring was relaxed in April 2005, but the DPP told the court that in the five years prior, Neal was lying about his HIV status and allegedly boasting that he wanted to infect as many people as possible.

Dr Hall said he received a number of allegations about Neal, but his case was only referred to police in late 2005 when those allegations spread to include child pornography.
