The aryl-aminoalcohol is a known viral prophylaxis dating back to drinking Tonic to prevent contracting Malaria (not a Virus in itself) because of the Quinine, which is the natural form of Chloroquine.

It has been known to cure HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex) in Mice since 1946.

So if you like to sleep around would it be prudent to drink gin and tonics? Asking for a friend...

Tonic water isn't really tonic water anymore. It used to be quinine+carbonated water and you put some gin in it to make it more palletable.

Now tonic water is a tiny bit of quinine, sugar, and carbonated water. They turned it into a regular soda.
