Viris HI a atache sou yon pwoteyin (pwoteyin CD4) nan selil kò selilè yo, enfiltre selil la ak kache nan ADN, "memwa" pou genomic imen an - pwosesis sa a tou refere kòm "transcription transverse", Nan ADN nan lame, li ka rete detèkte pou yon tan long. Sa a se rezon an pou kisa anpil moun ki enfekte pa konnen sou maladi yo pou mwa oswa menm ane.

The HI virus attaches to a protein (CD4 protein) of certain body cells, infiltrates the cell and hides there in the DNA, the "memory" for the human genome - this process is also referred to as "reverse transcription", In the host DNA, it can stay undetected for a long time. This is also the reason why many infected people do not know about their illness for months or even years.
