Solution

The HIV virus is very deadly. It has the capacity to lie dormant for several years. It can easily integrate with the genome of the cell and replicate itself making its detection by drugs and therapies very difficult. It is highly mutagenic. Hence its identification and targeting by existing drugs and techniques is challenging.
