Two HIV particles (virions) showing the matrix protein shell (blue), and the viral core (pink). The core contains the viral genetic material (RNA). The virus is covered by an envelope (translucent green) derived from the host cell during budding. Spikes (golden) allow the virus to attach to target cells. The background is a complex texture at bottom fading to bright green at the top.
