A 37-year-old cisgender man was diagnosed with HIV 4 years prior with a CD4 count of 852 cells/mm3 and an undetectable HIV RNA. The HIV RNA level was repeated multiple times over the following 6 months and was consistently undetectable. Based on these findings, he was considered an “elite controller.” During the prior 3 months, the HIV RNA levels remained undetectable, but the CD4 count declined, with a recent CD4 count of 486 cells/mm3. He has never taken antiretroviral therapy.
Which one of the following should be recommended at this point?
