But HIV’s ability to mutate isn’t unique among RNA viruses – most viruses develop mutations, or changes in their genetic code, over time. Changes in mutationally constrained epitopes are rare, as they can cause the virus to lose its ability to infect and replicate, essentially rendering it unable to propagate itself.
