      (2)   that use of the products or treatment has not been proven to prevent primary infection with HIV, nor is to be a cure for AIDS, nor to extend the life or improve the health of an HIV-positive person or a person infected with AIDS.
   (b)   Any claimed effects of the treatment or use of the product on an HIV-positive person or a person with AIDS in an advertisement shall be deemed a deceptive practice unless such claims are capable of being substantiated by scientific documentation including, but not limited to, medical clinical trials, small scale and informal clinical trials, compilations of clinical data from patients or other clinical information. Such documentation must support any claimed effects of the treatment or use of the product on an HIV-positive person or a person with AIDS. All documentation must be made available at the request of a consumer.
