However, the sanitary hygiene of the refilled drinking water should be maintained, otherwise consumers’ health will be at stake. This study was performed to address the problems of sanitation and hygiene at refilled drinking water depots in Pekanbaru City, Riau, Indonesia.Method: In this descriptive qualitative study, six refilled drinking water depots participated as samples in December 2021. Depot owners answered the drinking water depot self-assessment report issued by the Directorate of Environmental Sanitation of the Republic of Indonesia in 2017 which consisted of four categories: place, equipment, handlers, water quality. Results: Out of four categories, two categories met the requirements of 100% (equipment and water source), while two categories did not meet the requirements: (Comply/C) 78.5% related to the buildings and 43% for handlers. The criteria of buildings that did not meet the requirements were layout, ventilation, closed trash cans, and hand washing facilities. Whereas, the criteria of operators that failed to meet the requirements were operators not wearing work costume and they never washed their hands before performing their jobs. Conclusion: In general, the drinking water depots have met the requirements (Comply/C) by 80%.

Even as latest as 2020, a study conducted by Tessema et al ,[ 8 ] showed that only 68% of PLHA had good hygiene practices, only 37% had basic water facilities, only 58% of them acquired recommended quantity of safe water for drinking. The authors also analyzed the adjusted prevalence ratio, where two-week prevalence of diarrhoea was less by 8%, 7% and 5% in PLHA who practiced good hygiene, washed their hands with soap and consistently used sanitation facility.…”

Background: Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices always have been neglected among HIV/AIDS (Human immunodeficiency virus/ Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) programs, even when HIV and WaSH services have robust bearing on each other. With COVID-19 pandemic on the go, it is utmost necessary for the people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) to ensure adequate WaSH practices. Objective: This study was carried out with an objective to assess baseline WaSH practices among PLHA and to find out if any association between nutritional status and WaSH parameters so as to identify the shortcomings and highlight the importance of WaSH practices among PLHAs and give suitable recommendations to program managers. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out among PLHA registered in ART centres of western Maharashtra. A sample size of 378 consented to be part of the study were included in the study, by means of systematic random sampling. Data were collected by means of pretested questionnaire prepared from guidelines and previous studies. Institutional ethical clearance was obtained and informed consent was taken from study participants before data collection. Strict confidentiality was maintained throughout the study period. Results: When asked about the water processing method, 76% of them told they do not treat/process the water supplied to them. In contrast, only a few PLHA told they would filter (17%), boil (7%), and use aquaguard (1%). The majority (67%) had their latrines, and while 29% of them were using public latrines and its hygienic sanitation was a concern for them and 4% were still practising open-air defecation in rural areas. Almost all study participants were handwashing after toilet use and handwashing before consuming food. The majority (79%) told they used soap and water, while 20% were using only water, soil and water (1%) and ash and water (1%) which was a concern. Of all the households, 87% cooked their food twice and consumed it thrice a day, while 4% prepared thrice. 10% of them cooked only once and consumed thrice a day; 56% practised consumption of leftover food of the previous night which was a concern. A majority (54%) did not consume street food while remaining said that they used to consume street food. But majority (59%) said they did not follow the habit of checking hygiene or sanitation of hotel where they used to consume food while the remaining 41% did not check the hotel before ordering the food; 50% of them bought packaged milk while 40.9% brought from unpasteurized dairy. On analysis, hygiene and sanitation factors had no statistically significant association with the nutritional status of study participants. Conclusion: WaSH factors act synergistically with other factors to affect the holistic health of PLHA. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities (continuous and regular), that focus on improving awareness level on WaSH practi...
