I see that being HIV+ is not a very big concern for you (don't get offended). I mean you can afford medicines and we all know that
most of you will live more than me.
I've created many topics in various sites related with HIV .. no single person replied yet.
I see that being HIV+ is not a very big concern for you (don't get offended).
I doubt you are going to get much help or encouragement with statements such as this.
Ehm i'm very sorry if that offended you ; i used to say that to a close friend of mine who is HIV+ to cheer him up.
I mean i just keep telling him HIV is just a pill/day and its like having diabetes. I apologize again.
You are right for some, myself included, it is just a pill a day (actually a few more than that). However for many it is a living hell. Just recently a forum member passed who meant a great deal to many here I doubt if her husband,family or friends would think "HIV was no big concern." Not being positive yourself I think I would tread lightly in the "no big concern" and "just a pill a day" area.
Hey gang -- a bit harsh on rolling out our welcome mat, don't you think?
From what I can tell, this HIV negative poster doesn't mean any harm, and as often happens when a neggie asks pozzies for help, they put foot in mouth pretty quickly. Making things worse, it seams English isn't his first language. But cut the guy a break, okay? This is the Off Topic forum, so he's allowed to be here.
It seems he wants to be the Paul Newman of the personal lubricant market. When you think of it, it's not a crazy idea (although it would take an extraordinary person to pull it off). If there was a personal lubricant on the market that was sold by a not-for-profit, and donated all it's profits to AIDS charities, I think a lot of folks would buy this particular lube.
So he seems well-meaning to me -- just wants to raise money to fight AIDS in a creative way.
So if you still find this thread offensive, please ignore it. But don't slam the door on good intentions simply because his English is bad, and he doesn't know how to speak the HIV+ PC dialect.

I really do not know anything about being HIV+ .
I just got several very good friends with HIV where i love to spend time with; Their friends outcasted them and i'm the only one who is really standing with them all along. One of my friend barely affords HIV medicines and i saw how hard is it for someone HIV+ to seek for medicine. He told me if he cannot afford the medicines for a while , everything will be ruined for him.
Ok i can help him financely for a while but it can't go like that forever ;

Thunter34 , that name sucked hard but you look very handsome so you're forgiven 8)
Hey i came up with a name on random name generator "Aquaires
" what do u think?
My initial and secondary responses include:
Makes me think of water and air and no connection to the product itself. If you say it aloud A Qwares, it sounds quite close to A Queer's, which doesn't bode well for its success from a branding perspective. The next closest word it sounds like is Awkward. And, as a product name it is slightly awk"word". Plus, some folks will speed-read it and think it's Aquarius and possibly dismiss it as a retro-hippy product. Aquaires also sounds like it could be packets of expensive women's moisturizing lotion.
I think your human generators beat the robo-random generator.

Gspot sounds catchy
Well, I have to disagree. It sounds dated and sounds as if it's a product for women.
Think about the basics. Who is your target audience? Men? Women? Men and Women? Gays? Straights? Gays and Straights? And, where are they? One continent? or The World? How will you reach them? and on and on
Look at your competition. Take good old reliable KY Jelly. What a surprisingly simple, not-so-sexy name and yet they are successful. No pun intended they had a big head start. In fact, they have done much recently to repackage and rebrand themselves precisely because they have more competition. Go look them up.
Use a focus group. Eventually, you will get to a point where you'll narrow to a few names or a name. Then you want to solicit input in the form of reactions to its package, its name, its literal feel, its scent or non-scent, its taste or non-taste and on and on.
Just a couple of thoughts. Oh, btw, thanks for the compliment re: name brand analysis.
