Hiv usually contain three major enzymes namely reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease.

Reverse transcriptase used for conversion of its RNA into DNA.

Integrase used to insert DNA into host genome

Protease used to form formation of the new viruses

An enzyme produced by HIV virus is called "Reverse transcriptase" which catalyzes the production of DNA from the viral RNA, making a DNA copy of the virus's genetic material. This DNA copy will then be capable of incorporating itself into the cell's genetic material, because it is now in the same form as the cell's hromosomes. This step catalyzed by reverse transcriptase is one of the most important steps in the HIV infection cycle.
(P.S. other enzymes produced are proteases, ribonuclease and integrase.)
