The HIV /AIDS pandemic is a major public health problem. COVID-19 infection has impacted the national health system. It was deemed necessary to study the continuity of HIV-related services in Senegal. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. The study populations were represented by all PLHIV who joined the active queue between March 2020 and February 2021. A multi-stage survey was conducted at the district level. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out using the SPSS version 2022 software. The mean age of patients was 43.38 years ±13.22. More than half of PLHIV were educated (53.13%) and married (55.47%) with a majority of the female sex 66.41%. Among the respondents, 66.13% were engaged in income-generating activities, of which 86.42% were in the informal sector. More than half of the respondents 67.50% had a monthly income of less than 55,000 FCFA. Television was the main source of information (51.56%). Almost all PLHIV (96.88%) had continued to seek counselling services. The majority (93.55%) had performed at least one follow-up para-clinical assessment with an average delay of 7.54±8.64 months. More than half (71.55%) of PLHIV were very satisfied with the follow-up consultation and assessment services offered. Among the 85 PLHIV surveyed, (9.41%) were pregnant or had given birth within the last 12 months. PLHIV for whom COVID-19 negatively impacted the continuity of services accounted for 16.41%. The discontinuity of HIV care services was higher in male subjects with an adjusted OR 4.61 [1.58-13.51]. Subjects who had no income-generating activity were at greater risk of experiencing care service discontinuity with an adjusted OR 3.13 [1.10-9.23]. The results of this work suggest to health authorities to reorganize the health system and adopt a policy based on the community approach and to populations to overcome the "fear of COVID-19".
