Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health problem, however, there are still important flaws in the cascade of care to prevent vertical transmission of HIV. Objective: To describe how care is given to children and adolescents living with HIV in the context of primary care in the Unified Health System. Methods: Descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, integrative review type, carried out in six steps seeking to answer the following question: “How is care given to children and adolescents living with HIV in the context of primary care in the Unified Health System?” The databases used were LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and PUBMED. Results: Few publications were found specifically focused on the care of children and adolescents with HIV, with nursing being the category that carries out the most studies in the area. Eight articles were included, from which three thematic categories of discussion emerged: analysis of cross-sectional infections in relation to prenatal care; primary care as organizer of the Health Care Network; and, monitoring children and adolescents living with AIDS/HIV. Conclusion: The importance of the protagonism of the multidisciplinary team in terms of prevention, treatment, and comprehensive care aimed at pregnant women, children, and adolescents with HIV is noticeable. The promotion of actions strengthens the link between professional and user, as well as strengthens the health care network towards integrated performance. For this, there must be the maintenance of the service provided and adequate preparation of professionals.
