Objective: to know the actions and perceptions of health professionals in coping with the care of the elderly undergoing HIV/AIDS treatment during the SARS-C0V-2 pandemic. Method: descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study, from the perspective of Alfred Schütz's social phenomenology, with health professionals of both sexes, who worked in the Unit for The Care of Infectious Diseases of Caraguatatuba-SP, in December 2020. Interviews were conducted with the help of an instrument on the characterization of professionals and questions about the actions and perceptions of professionals. Results: they bring reflections on the experiences of professionals when providing care to elderly patients with HIV/AIDS during the Pandemic. Social responses brought knowledge about the involvement and resilience demonstrated by health professionals. Final considerations: the experiences of the professionals were focused on the care and well-being of these elderly, even if they were going through adversities and adaptations, such as the lack of human and material resources.
