HIV is a virus. Because it is a retrovirus HIV has 2 fragments of RNA Molecule

Answer 2

Technically no.

By definition, a living thing must

1. Reproduce by its own mechanism
2. Have a metabolism
3. Maintain homeostasis
4. Respond to stimuli
5. Have a genetic code
6. Be composed of cells
7. Grow and develop

Viruses such as HIV do not meet criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 7. Viruses reproduce by hijacking a living cell to do the work for them rather than by their own mechanism.
