Could Redness In Lips Be A Result Of Heavy Drinking?
Hi my new boyfriend has a red lower lip. He seems healthy but he confessed that in the past he used to drink very heavily. What could be causing the red lip? Is it the heavy drinking in the past. I was told by a friend it could mean he is hiv-positive? Should I insist for testing?

thanks for your query,
there is no relationship between drinking and color of the lip and hiv infection....the color of the lip might change in smokers it might become pigmented..nothing to worry...
