 Thanks for your post. Since you have two consecutive labs with CD4 counts below 350, and you have a rather high HIV viral load, yes, I'd recommend starting treatment. Talk to your doctor about your drug resistance testing and all of your potential treatment options-- then decide about which medications make the most sense for your body, your mind and your virus.
