Other examples of a latent virus include the HIVs. The latent form of HIV is particularly insidious from the point of view of treatment, because the drugs traditionally given to treat AIDS are effective only against the actively replicating form of the virus.acteriophage lambda is not associated with disease. However, other viruses that can establish a latent relationship with the host are capable of causing disease.
Although latent infections don't cause the production of new viruses, they cause the viral genetic material to be replicated. One way for a bacteriophage to cause a latent infection is the virus injects their genetic material into the host cell and then the capsid gets degraded. The viral genetic material becomes circularized and basically becomes a piece of plasmid DNA inside the bacterial cell (plasmid DNAs can replicate independently of the host cell's chromosomal DNA).
