Patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS often face a range of physical, musculoskeletal, respiratory and neurological challenges. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing these complications and improving the quality of life of patients. The present work aims to identify the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients living with HIV/AIDS, and understand from the patient's point of view the experience and adherence to physiotherapeutic interventions in the management of HIV/AIDS. To this end, electronic questionnaires were administered with open and closed questions about the patient's profile and care routine. It was concluded that there is a predominance of cases in young adults, especially males, often associated with risky sexual practices. Furthermore, it became evident that the spread of the virus is unevenly distributed geographically in Brazil and that physiotherapy plays an integrated and multidisciplinary role in the care of patients with HIV/AIDS and contributes significantly to improving the quality of life and functional capacity of these patients.
