The conjugate acid of $I^{-}$ $I^-$ is $H I$ $HI$ , hydroiodic acid.

Explanation:

Note that when you speak of conjugate acids/bases etc. you must be mindful of charge as well as mass. If we remove a (formally) proton from $H I$ $HI$ we remove $H^{+}$ $H^+$ we remove charge as well as mass, hence the species left behind is $I^{-}$ $I^-$ .
