This describes the unique characteristic of the HIV virus, which is a retrovirus. Retroviruses like HIV reverse the typical process of genetic information flow by using reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA into DNA after entering a host cell. This is different from many other viruses, such as those that cause the common cold or influenza, which typically do not involve this conversion.
