How many copies does hiv make of itself in the first 24 hours of infection?

Billion: HIV is a single stranded enveloped RNA virus of the Retroviridae family that upon entry into the target cell is converted into a double stranded DNA that travels to the cell nucleus integrate into the cell own DNA. It could either hide in the host or replicate by using elements necessary to produce new RNA genomes that get release from the at a rather rapid pace destroying the cell in the proces.
