Objective: describe the adaptations that occurred in healthcare referral services regarding the care for individuals living with HIV/Aids in the covid-19 pandemic scenario. Methodology: the research is of a quantitative exploratory descriptive nature. The research was authorized by the ethics and research committee (Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) under the protocol CAAE 46795521.5.0000.5013. Results: a total of 32 interviews were performed. The main modifications that occurred in the scenarios where data was collected were the distribution of supplies and materials to prevent contamination from SARS-CoV-2, bigger intervals between consultations and the expansion of the time in months for the dispensing of medications. Conclusion: it is evident that the pandemic brought diverse impacts to HIV healthcare referral services, as well as its users. Such scenario created challenges that may be overcome with interdisciplinary teamwork and institutional support, as well as collaboration and engagement of patients in the modifications proposed.
