reearchers have found that it has ability to fool our immunity system and hide itself in a normal cells and makes immune system more attentive towards other infections.
and the main reason behind hiding it from body immune system of body is NEF protein , (negative regulatory factor which is small encoded by lentivirus and these includes HIV1 and HIV2.

NEF or negative factor is a factor for hiding capacity of HIV virus to hide from immune system of the body.
this protein when present also distrupts the ability of immune system and promotes the viral replication and its make the environment that body thinks the hiv vell to the body normal trash and not a infecious one.
