Protien is made up of amino acids, and amino acids are the building blocks of life. HIV is a retro RNA virus. RNA stands for Ribo-nucleic acid. Ribose is a sugar. The nucliec acid in RNA is composed of alternating bonds of adenine bound to uracil, and gaunine bound to cytosine, forming a double helix with a phosphate backbone.
The nucleic acids gaunine, cytosine, uracil, and adenine are compounds made up of amino acids. So, yes there are proteins in HIV.

What is bridging sheet in HIV?
The unique Protein Fold of HIV, maily consisting of 2 beta-sheets.
Could HIV infect a monkey as it does humans?
No , HIV is specific for human . Monkeys have protein that has destructive power which prevents them from HIV. Though SIV is affective against these monkeys.
What type of test is the western blot test?
Western Blots used to diagnose HIV infection detect antibody to a range of HIV proteins. Instead of giving just one answer, they show "positive" or "negative" for each protein on the western blot strip. This makes them very specific for HIV.
A protein on the surface of HIV can attach to what proteins on the surface of healthy human cells?
Receptor molecules
Can you be a dental assistant if you are HIV positive?
Yes. You can have any job you want if you are HIV+
Propose a possible reason why there may be a small percentage of people who have a natural immunity to HIV?
Its known why and is not a possible reason but fact. Its a naturally occurring genetic mutation. HIV seeks out and uses CD4 the protein that covers the T helper cell that HIV infects. The mutation creates a different protein on the T helper cell that HIV is not able to detect. Without binding to T helper cells HIV will wither and die. 4% of Scananavians,3% of western Europeans and sadly 0% of sub-sahran Africans have the mutation.
Are there any signs immediately after infection that a person is HIV positive?
No, there are not any signs immediately after infection that a person is HIV positive.
Do any rapper have hiv?
rapper
Can rh positive blood influence HIV status?
Yes because of the multiple protein genes in the rhesus blood, which makes it easier for the blood to be tuned positive to HIV antibodies reacting tests.
Do acids react with animal substances?
aids is caused by a virus called called hiv. the main affinity of hiv virus is T8 immune cells in human .it may affect some closely related species like gorilla and some species of monkeys because they have some similarity with human, mostly the protein in the immune cells of any animal which have the protein binding site of the virus the virus may infect.
Is there any chance of not getting hiv after sleepin with sumone who is positive?
There is a chance that the person would not be HIV+.
Can HIV virus transfer through saliva?
Any body fluids can transmit HIV from the carrier to someone else.no
