HIV is a retrovirus. HIV is an enveloped retrovirus. Each virus particle contains two copies of an RNA genome. The virus also has a number of enzymes: reverse transcriptase, integrase and viral protease. These molecules play an important role in making new copies of HIV and can be the targets of antiretroviral drugs.
The genome of retroviruses consists of RNA not DNA. HIV-1 and HIV-2, the agents that cause AIDS, are retroviruses. In February 1997 it was reported that pig cells contain a retrovirus capable of infecting human cells (at least, in vitro). This is troublesome because of the efforts that are being made to transplant pig tissue into humans (e.g., fetal pig cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease).
