HIV has devised clever strategies that allow it to persist for many years in an infected person. HIV splices its genes into those of the host, so it is intimately associated with a variety of cells. The virus hides in certain reservoirs in the body that are not easily reached by current drugs. Moreover, as HIV spreads in an infected individual, it undergoes changes. Thus, many variants of HIV can exist even within a single person.
This variation allows HIV to escape from the patient's immune system or from some antiviral drugs. We're not treating one virus, but many thousands of slightly different viruses, each tenaciously integrated into host cells. A realistic goal for the treatment of HIV-infected individuals is not to totally rid the body of HIV, but to suppress it so that it does not cause disease and is not efficiently transmitted to anyone else.

The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.

because hiv or aids keeps changing, like other viruses or bacteria they dont stay the same way, they will mutate therefore their genetic code changes and because they do this so fast like every 30 seconds, nd since they change very fast you will have to create new drugs for them every 30 seconds which is impossible for now
