Inclusive WASH – HIV and AIDS Webinar January 17- 27, 2012

Summary:
- Accessible water, sanitation and good hygiene practices are essential for the treatment and well-being of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and their careers, yet PLWHA often face stigma and isolation within their own communities, limiting their access to basic water and sanitary services. This session provided participants an introduction to the integration of WASH practices into HIV-care and vice versa. At the Inclusive WASH website you can access a recording of Lucina Schmich's (Burnett Institute) Webinar on why WASH matters for PLWHA and a programming approach to incorporating WASH into various HIV settings, as well as Julia Rosenbaum's (USAID WASHplus) Webinar, which reviews national programming guidance, identifies small doable actions to improve practice, and introduces an integration tool kit and other resources available for program staff.

Improving the Lives of People Living with HIV through WASH
Source:
- AIDSTAR-One. 2012.
Summary:
- AIDSTAR-One has finalized a new training resource that aims to address problems around water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) at health facilities to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV. This comprehensive, three-four day curriculum has two goals: to build the capacity of individual health care providers to adopt WASH approaches; and to provide guidance to program planners, and administrators in developing facility-wide WASH approaches. The curriculum provides detailed activities to improve WASH systems in health facilities by ensuring a safe and sufficient supply of water, sanitation, and basic hygiene practices exist at the facility level. In resource-limited countries, many essential practices are lacking in the majority of health care facilities making adequate patient care more difficult, particularly for people living with HIV (PLWH) and others who are more likely to get an infection.

Integrating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene into HIV Programs in Ethiopia – Participant’s Guide
Source:

Countries:
- Ethiopia
Summary:
- HIV/AIDS organizations working with PLWHA do not routinely integrate WASH into their programs. To address this, HIP engaged interested partners and formed a national community of practice in Addis Ababa to explore feasible, effective actions for improved WASH practices in the home-based care (HBC) context. To support this effort HIP developed this module, which can be integrated into existing training for HBC workers, HIV case managers, and nurses working in counseling and testing, PMTCT and antiretroviral therapy programs.
