Retroviruses are different from other kinds of viruses, which means most antiretroviral medications don't affect other viruses. Since only a few retroviruses cause disease in humans, the protection against other viruses is relatively minor.

But a few antiretrovirals have been used against specific other viruses, so it can in principle have an effect sometimes.
