HIV has an envelope composed of membrane derived from the host cell and two virus-encoded proteins gp41 & gp120:
p17 matrix protein lines the inner surface of the viral membrane and anchors the overlying p41.
p24 capsid protein forms part of the RNA-containing core of HIV. p9 coats the diploid RNA genome. The capsid contains enzymatic proteins including reverse transcriptase and integrase.
