Yes, A SSRNA one.

HIV is a retrovirus. All retroviruses are enveloped. This means when they leave the host cell after replication, they "bud" out and become coated in some of the host cell's plasma membrane which they embed with viral proteins. The capsid is then enveloped with a coating that the immune system is less likely to recognize as being foreign.
