Les gènes du V.I.H.-1 comportent les trois gènes structuraux fondamentaux des rétrovirus, présents à la fois dans les cellules infectées et dans les particules virales matures. Le gène gag (ce qui signifie gène de l'antigène de groupe) qui code pour les protéines de nucléotide; le gène pol (pour polymérase) qui détermine la synthèse de l'enzyme caractéristique des rétrovirus, la transcriptase inverse (ou reverse transcriptase); à son extrémité existe un petit gène qui code pour une protéase dont le rôle est de cliver les protéines produites par le gène gag; le gène env (pour enveloppe) qui permet la synthèse des glycoprotéines de l'enveloppe virale. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20enveloppe
