Viruses infect the host cells by mainly injecting their Genomes (DNA or RNA) into the host cells. Viral RNA (in case of HIV) converted (reverse transcribed) to form DNA. These DNA get access to the nucleus of host cell and most of the time integrate the viral genome into the host genome. So the host will now treat the DNA of virus as their "OWN", aid to synthesize viral compartments(capsid proteins) and the viral genome; that subsequently packages to form progeny viruses!
