: As policies built on 'Undetectable = Untransmittable' become more popular, use of durable viral suppression (DVS) as an outcome in analyses is increasing.

Clearer discussion of DVS, including a formal definition, is needed to ensure better comparability across studies and ultimately better public health outcomes.
