If meds for HIV interfere with the formation of new HIV copies in the body does the other copies still infect the cells that wasn't infected with HIV?

What you're talking about is Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Treatment (HAART) which is not only the most effective for o treatment for HIV, but also most retroviruses. HAART cannot kill current copies in the body, i can however stop the production of new ones (in various ways include nucleoside integrase inhibitors, non-nucleoside inhibitors, and protease inhibitors) AND it can also prevent the existing copies from entering the cells.
Two drugs that have already been developed for such a purpose are Maraviroc and Enfurvitide (sp?) and achieve this task by binding to the receptors (CCR5 co receptor) on the cell (CD4+)that the virus would normally bind to enter the cell (Maraviroc) or bind to the receptor on the virus (GP41) that it would use to connect to the phosholipid membrane of the cell
Simply put, yes meds for HIV can stop cells from getting infected, but complications occur, and the result is not absolute due to alot of variables, however it does significantly increase your life span
