ssRNA-RT viruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that use reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme to convert their RNA genome into DNA once they infect a host cell. This DNA is then inserted into the host's genome, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell. HIV is an example of a ssRNA-RT virus.
