Summary Introduction
Introduction:
HIV (Human Immuno Virus) is a virus that can residue in the human cells without expressing its effect. It belongs to the retroviruses family and contains single-stranded RNA. HIV enzyme “reverse transcriptase” transcribes its viral genetic material, RNA into DNA so that it can actively incorporate itself into the genetic material (DNA) of the host.
