This study aims to analyze the meaning attributed to living with HIV in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and how the pandemic has affected life, subjectivity, social relationships and health care in the SUS, identifying the challenges faced by person living with HIV during this period. Therefore, we resorted to bibliographical and field research as a methodological strategy. In our research, we privilege the discourse of people living with HIV, focusing the analysis on their experiences with the virus and on the changes faced since the beginning of the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus, ensuring spaces for speech about the impacts that living with HIV triggered in his life and how he chose to deal with this phenomenon, starting from an existential analysis. In this sense, we analyzed the data under the light of Jean Paul Sartre's progressive-regressive biographical method and created analysis categories, namely: Learning to live with HIV: Diagnosis; Sharing the diagnosis is positive: Social relationships of the person with HIV; Health Care for people living with HIV in the midst of the Covid-19 and Viver pandemic: the important thing is to value the path. At the end of the research, we concluded that the prospect of living with HIV in the midst of the greatest pandemic of our time does not mean stopping life, but the opportunity to choose a different way of life. Despite the challenges that cross the SUS, during the Covid-19 pandemic the health services for the population living with HIV were maintained and even in the face of several implications caused by the Coronavirus, the adjustments made by people with HIV are not so different from those made by HIV-negative people or with other types of comorbidities. Furthermore, we found that Psychology as a science and profession has an important role in the construction of reference spaces in care for people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition to offering listening and creating spaces for people living with HIV, it is necessary to commit to training, discussion and debates in the training of psychology professionals related to the psychological impact that the diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Infections evokes, as well as psychology to collaborate in the fight against any kind of prejudice and discrimination.
