Aids isn't the disease that affects any cells, the virus that affects your CD4 cells is HIV. Aids (auto immune defiency syndrome) is what a person gets from HIV and ultimately dies from complications due to AIDS. colds and flus.

Is there any information out there not aids about Autoimmune white blood cells attacking other white blood cells?

Nothings pops up immediately, (autoimmunity specifically directly against white blood cells). But in AIDS (HIV disease) there isn't an autoimmune reaction either. It's HIV attacking (a.o) CD4 T-cells, which leads to an immunodeficiency. CD8 T-cells and NK-cells will undoubtedly kill infected CD4 T-cells, but this is the normal immune reaction, which will happen to all (most) infected nucleated cells.

Aids is loses white cells then why don't they give them the disease that makes too much?

It's not that they lose the white blood cells, it's that the white blood cells are actually infected with AIDS. If they got the disease where they made too much, then more white blood cells would just get infected. The overall effect would be the same. The white blood cells can't kill HIV/AIDS because the virus is changing so much that your body can't really recognize it. Besides, histiocytosis (the disease where your body makes an excess of white blood cells) would probably just complicate the situation.
