Human immunodeficiency virus carries genetic information in the form of single stranded RNA. In the figure, the RNA is located in the dark spots inside the circular virus particles [[Image:HIV_particles.JPG|thumb]]
[[Image:HIV_particles.JPG|thumb]]All known organisms use DNA as the storage molecule for genetic information. Some viruses, however use RNA instead. They are classified into double-stranded RNA viruses and plus or minus single-stranded RNA viruses depending on how they use RNA to store genetic information. For example, human immunodeficiency virus carries genetic information in the form of single stranded RNA. In the figure, the RNA is located in the dark rectangular blob inside the circular virus particles.
