Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions have been associated with improving the health of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). WASH is increasingly integrated into the HIV sector and is now considered a key component of the transition from an emergency response to a better incorporated and coordinated AIDS response. However, limited research exists on integration efforts. This qualitative research study aims to address the limited body of research on WASH integration into HIV programmes through examining the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). PEPFAR is the US government's initiative to combat AIDS in the most afflicted countries. This study analyses the perceptions of people who have worked or are working on WASH integration into PEPFAR, highlighting their views on accomplishments, challenges and areas for improvement. It concludes with recommendations for moving forward
