Variation in estimated viral suppression associated with the definition of viral suppression used

Discussion: The proportion suppressed varied greatly as a function of the subset of persons in whom it was calculated, the threshold used for suppression, and the way multiple viral loads per person per year were summarized. Measures of durable viral suppression, and low-level viremia (20–400 copies/ml), should be considered in describing the health of people with HIV, in addition to the standard estimates of suppression.
